Hi there!

Post: # 108889Post kathleen »

Hi, I'm Kathleen & I live with way down in New Zealand on a biodynamic vineyard with my husband and 2 cats... We're working on being more self sufficientish! Living out here is great, since the vineyard is already organic & biodynamic we don't have to worry about nasty sprays or any of the other hideous things usually encountered on a vineyard, and we have a good source of compost for our vege garden as a bonus. Since NZ is borderline running out of power for the winter (most of the energy in the country comes from hydro, and the lakes are empty...), we're on a mission at the moment to not use any power after 6.30pm, and it's actually really nice sitting by the fire & finding ways to amuse ourselves! Loving reading through the bits & pieces on this site, fantastic stuff! :flower:

Hiya Kathleen - welcome! Sounds pretty serious, your water shortage... :? Actually, we could do with a bit more here, too - just for watering purposes, though.
