Title: I'm not a smallholder but....
Post by: StephenRoberts on July 30, 2014, 11:49:09 am

.. there is an awful lot of excellent information to be found here! We live in the middle of the Creuse (a department in La France Profonde), it's a bit like Herefordshire where we used to live. We have about one and a quarter acres (5000 sq m) of orchard. The trees are mainly ancient apple trees with some pears, cherries, plums, nectarines and peaches. I have a Kubota L1500 tractor and a 90cm flail mower to keep it under control.

And me. Welcome from  :sunshine: Shropshire where I have more of a micro-holding - a large garden where I keep my goats and grow fruit and veg.
