I live in Port Elizabeth, a coastal city on the South-Eastern tip of South Africa. Over the past few years I have become increasingly eager to become more self-sufficient and live in an environmentally friendly manner. I live in a small urban property in the center of town, however I do have a small garden. I grow as much of my own vegetables and herbs as I can, recycle and reuse as much as possible and I have recently started trying my hand at making herbal remedies. I also try to bake bread as much as I can and I'm looking into curing meats and making cheese within the next few months. I would also like to start brewing my own beer soon. I would love to have a few chickens, but I don't think I have enough space and I'm not sure about the laws in South Africa regarding rearing chickens in an urban environment. I should find that out though!
Anyways enough babble about myself. I hope to find loads of useful information here and perhaps give some advice where I can.
