Hello :wave:
I've just signed up to the forum. I've lived on a (sort of) smallholding up on Bodmin Moor for over 12 years and kept poultry and attempted (with varying degrees of success) to grow veg. The most productive part has been our wind turbine!
I found this site while searching for some advice about what to do about the field/paddock/area of grass where my poultry have lived all that time and is now in a bit of a mess. It's not so much what the chickens have done as the mice, or voles, or whatever, which have turned my field into a colander!
I'm off now to browse the land management section of the forum and maybe post a question.
Looking forward to chatting with you.

Bodmin is close by and I frequently walk the moors. I'd like to know about your turbine out of interest. No wind where we are, we get the frost - if one doesn't get you, the other one will!
