Hello from East Anglia
« on: May 06, 2011, 11:09:58 pm »
Just like to say Hello. We keep chickens, geese plus some other livestock. We are also keen vegetable growers and have an allotment on Fen soil, which is very good at growing weeds as well :)

I sometimes go to the http://www.icenimsg.co.uk]Iceni Microscopy Study Group[/url [url]http://www.icenimsg.co.uk], that is based in between Bungay and Beccles, lovely rolling countryside.

We are live near to Ely.

Hi - from a fellow Cambridgeshirian. Our fen soil has set like concrete in the sun though :(

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome  :wave:

Ben, I guess you must have some clay in with your fen peat, in order to set so like concrete, i.e. you must be on fen high land. We have some land that is high land and it has huge cracks every where, but the other area of fen peat is so dry it looks like it might "blow" if there is a strong wind. The crops around here are struggling, I have seen some fields of wheat that are much shorter than I would expect them to be at this time of the year. Lets hope it rains soon!
