Re: Advice on how to get organised

Hi Ben I’m also relatively new on here and don’t claim in any way to be an experienced prepper; I am, however, reasonably well-organised! I agree with you about the boards on here - I’ve saved myself a lot of time and money following the advice from those with experience. I just wondered about the ‘...

Some seem to do just fine left alone (rosemary, marjoram and mint) but others like a bit of tlc after the harsh wet and windy win...

Re: Preps for pets

Great posts - love that you’re thinking of the animals too! We’ve got crazy border collies here and we keep 5/6 15kg bags of their dry food going in rotation so would last them a while.
