newb here
« on: January 20, 2012, 08:23:10 pm »
hi all  :wave:

country boy that moved to the city (nottingham not london !), pined for the country since the day i left and finally moving back to my ancestoral homeland - herefordshire which is THE shire !

we should take possesion of the house and 2/3 of an acre in the next few weeks

i have kept chickens for many years and grown my own veg but only on a back garden scale, although not the larget smallholding at all and actually not much more than a large back garden, we have lots planned, and no doubt we will be asking for others advice on here

first few jobs to do are some tree felling, logging, a awful lot of hedge work, fencing and a generally tidy up of a 2/3 acre paddock that has been left for 12 months

let the fun commence ...................................

Don't listen to the money men - they know the price of everything and the value of nothing

Live in a cohousing community with small farm for our own use.  Dairy cows (rearing their own calves for beef), pigs, sheep for meat and fleece, ducks and hens for eggs, veg and fruit growing

Welcome 'Smallest'. Ours is only half an acre -I think of it as a microholding. Plenty to keep you busy there. Could do with the loan of some goats to clear it for you.
