Hi
I can't really class myself as a smallholder as such....but I do have 1/2 acre garden with large veg plot and greenhouse - I have been lurking around the veg section of the forum picking up tips for a while now

I am lucky enough to have a drainage ditch running through the garden which once dammed makes it ideal for my breeding flock of miniature silver appleyard ducks. I also keep and breed various bantams

Hiya & welcome

from West Scotland
You may not class yourself as a smallholder, but you're definately on the slippery slope

From Essex!
I have 1/3 acre and trying to squeeze everything I can onto it and pretend it is bigger. If I close my eyes it is MASSIVE!

You can do LOADS with 1/2 acre

from Shropshire. I have less lands than you and I class myself as a smalholder (more microholder). In fact, when I was last inspected, I was put down as a 'low risk farm', so it's official.
