Ive just secured a cheap 6 acres of local land and a fairly large pond on a 3 year rental basis and I'm over the moon as Ive been looking for a while!!

Im a complete novice to everything really apart from the research Ive done over the last year or so. Any advice will be taken on board and greatly recieved!!

I can't wait to get started  :excited: :excited:

Well done!

It's a rather open question as it stands - perhaps it would help generate some responses and advice if you tell us a little bit about what you had been thinking of doing.
Don't listen to the money men - they know the price of everything and the value of nothing

Welcome from Wales, wishing you all the best for the future. What animals have you decided to keep, sheep, cows, poultry, or pigs? Or all 4?
the most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, loving concern.
