Hay is often in short supply and the farmers will cut it for you and pay for the pleasure if it's good enough quality.

sorry MMM i was most probly getting mixed up with an old edict that said 1/4 of an acre was sufficient to feed a family - many of the twixt wars bungalows were built with that size of garden (now mostly split into three, sold off and built on)Millymollymandy wrote:1/4 of an acre is slightly over 1000m2. That's pretty big for a veg patch!!!!!.....................?
maybe the 1/4 would include a chicken house and possibly a pigsty, I doubt if grains would have been grown but certainly crops of tatties/beets, peas and beans for dry storing, and all year crops like kale and cabbages - I guess I must have read this at some time cos generally I have notaclue
