Hello from Rutland

Post: # 221265Post Smokey »

Hi

I'm Maria from Rutland.

I gained planning permission on our 15 acres in the open countryside. We keep pigs, alpacas, chickens and I have horses. I have also started growing willow and have been hedgerow harvesting for material to weave baskets etc. I work full time on our smallholding.

My veggie growing has been limited but want to increase this but I am not very green fingered. I hope this site will help.

I also want to learn more about green building. :wave:

Hi there and welcome :wave:
Let us be lovely
And let us be kind
Let us be silly and free
It won't make us famous
It won't make us rich
But damn it how happy we'll be!

Hi and welcome! You should certainly have a bash at growing things especially as you must have loads of lovely muck from all those animals! :wink:
