Ag no man.

Lemme get a fresh invite.

This one should never expire.

Edit : deleted the post with the old link, as I cannot edit it.

So here we are.

Iā€™m back!

Last year was a living hell, so I turned off the television, radio, and internet and eventually moved out to the forest just before Halloweā€™en.

Life is surprisingly good when your only worries are keeping the cats, chickens, and horses happy.

I can concur with that, living in the boondocks definitely is a better quality of life.

Plus your BP goes down and you have less stress.

It really does. I mean Iā€™m only an hour away from Carlisle but by British standards thatā€™s a three month trek across the Andes! The weather out west is wetter of course, to the point weā€™re going to have to technically suspend our veggie garden above the peat and put guttering in, but thatā€™s a February Problem :smile:

Where we stay, the ground is not suitable for farming, so my wife made beds for the plants. We have put piping up to redirect graywater into the veggie beds, so itā€™s less of a schlepp to take out the bathwater.

Getting there slowly but surely.

One forumiteā€™s in wet weather conditions, the otherā€™s in dry (semi-desert) conditions. Going to be interesting.

Iā€™ll choose the arid conditions above the wet conditions though.

At least itā€™s cool in the evenings, you can sleep nice and well, no more hot, sweaty summer nights.

My Black Walnuts make for nice loamy black earth, but itā€™s also toxic to most plants, so we have to do raised beds.
