Title: Hi from Featherstone in West Yorkshire
Post by: gailmb on October 24, 2011, 07:23:45 pm

Hello everyone.
i live in featherstone, west yorkshire. rent some land for my gee gee's. This had been old allotments that had been empty for about 10 years. the place was so overgrown with brambles and a lot of rubbish. But i am finally getting there. Most of the place is fenced but still quite a bit to do that i cant get to for brambles. Which is good in a way as the horse wont go through them.
i borrowed some goats which have done a great job but as im so close to other peoples gardens they are not happy when they see the goats in their gardens eating their plants. 
Anyway, just taken a couple more acres on (so got about 6 acres now) and cut some hay this year. Which is very satisfying but hard work getting it in with a rake. lol.
Was looking at getting some chickens but dont need to at the moment as the guy next door has some that are always in mine, just need them to leave me some eggs and the jobs a good un.
