This is my dream: To live as my forefathers once did - in harmony with the land that sustains us. A project to investigate and innovate the creation of a low impact home with methods of living in a form of permaculture designed to sustain my family and improve biodiversity. To leave the land richer than before and in doing so enable others to do so.
A useful day out with kids.

I spent the day at a seed swap at a community allotment area today. Mostly this meant that I was planting a lot of things and using a book to tell me how to do it. Mostly this meant digging a lot.Fortunately I was able to recall from reading the Vegetable Expert that I had seen the grub I dug up before. I was then able to identify it as a pest which chews up your roots and new shoots. This was entirely consistent with the fact that the area I had been digging had been grassy for quite a while.
The practical upshot of it all was that I had to dig over a second area somewhere else to give the birds more time to eat all of the aforementioned bug (whose name, typically, I can not recall).
Meanwhile my children had fun helping to mix sand for a clay oven and to plant seeds in trays. They should sleep soundly.
This year I will attempt the impossible - subscribe so that you do not miss it.
