Hi,  my  name  is  clem20  and  I  live  in  Leicester.  I  feel  an  absolute  fraud  calling  myself  a  smallholder,  as  I  am  just  doing  what  I  can  to  be  self-sufficient  from  the  back  garden  at  the  moment.  This  includes  keeping  chickens,  a  polytunnel  for  salad  goods  and  a  raised  veg  garden.  Nevertheless  I  need  help  along  the  way,  so  hope  I  can  pick  up  useful  tips  and  information  here   ;D

Well I think you are more of a smallholder than I am entitled to call myself, I only grow pigs, chickens and weeds.  Brown thumbs as opposed to green fingers.  :)
