Hello everybody, we've arrived here through numerous googling's over the past 9 months or so which have led us to these excellent forums. Since our smallholding adventure is due to start in earnest in the next month or so we thought it would only be polite to join up and contribute a bit. Contribute might be a slight exaggeration, that should possibly read more along the lines of plead for help but you get the drift.
Anyhow, we've read loads of books and gone on lots of very good courses (we have certificates!) so we're bursting with overconfidence, misinformation and enthusiasm.
If anyone would like to recommend some do's or don'ts on smallholding in Orkney we'd love to hear from you.
