Re: Hens,eggs and all that

Along with our Hybrids and mixer home grown chickens we have added Indian Runner ducks as well - 5 or them and we are getting 4 eggs a day sometimes 5 (that is if I get to them before the dog). As with the chickens very easy to look after and really entertaining. Duck eggs are also really good for c...

Re: I've got a mole.....

Not humane but nearly natural - get a Cat with hunting instincts like my daughter's bundle of joy. It brings in every rodent, mammal and birds it can get its claws on. Through the Cat flap and rather prolific. I do not think Moles are particularly tasty though as he does just play with them until th...

Re: TEOTWAWKI / Survival Movies

Not quite a TEOTWAWKI movie but believable IMHO. Just watched the first half of Contagion on the train this morning. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1598778/ I couldn’t help feeling uncomfortable on the train with people coughing and sneezing.

Re: how am I preparing??

St3vie, Junmist I am also about to experiment with Aquaponics in a Poly Tunnel. Poly Tunnel went up three weeks ago and I have sectioned off enough room for an IBC style setup. I will find some of the links I have been using to gain some knowledge. I was going to use Goldfish to seed the process\bac...

Hi all from rural/coastal Essex

I have been prepping and reducing any dependence on services, supermarkets and the state for a quite a few years. Moved last year to a rural location, a bit of land, surrounded by farm land, farm shop and gradually ticking off items on the list to be independent with regards to life's necessities. B...
