SteamyTea Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 Interesting radio show about living off your land. Shame no Felicity Kendal. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m001yhhy?partner=uk.co.bbc&origin=share-mobile 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMitchells Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 Have not listened yet, but would think it very difficult to do. Unless you really like vegetables and do not mind having the same thing most days. It would be hard work! Looking forward to listening to it. 😃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jilly Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 Just listened right through. I loved it: very high welfare meat. I’d love to try to be self sufficient, but I’m not disciplined enough. Permaculture is a nice idea, to allow wildlife and ‘foraging’ on your own patch rather than manicured lawns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelvin Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 We have grown a lot of fruit and veg at a previous gaff where we had a lot of land to utilise. It was almost a full time job in itself. Makes you realise how hard life was back when this was how most people really lived and how a lot of people still live. You’re one bad crop away from starvation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We really do need to have a word with ourselves in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coffee spurting out my nose, cornflakes blown everywhere , dog looking decidedly worried, cats scattered in shock. Not all bad though. SWMBO is already cleaning the floor, the table and the milk splatters from the window. Dentists later today to replace the bridge that's now stuck at an uncomfortable angle. Good start to the day. PS the bridge popped itself back into place. This is a GOOD Monday morning. Edited July 29 by ToughButterCup 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
