Organic gardening
An important part of living off the land is growing your own vegetables and berries. Inspired by the principals of permiculture we aim to have a productive, low maintenance food production system that is rich in diversity and healthy life.

Got 'matos precious?
Details:Our tomatoes are out of control, a huge improvement over last year.
We have a bunch of different varieties but the most prolific by far are the roma. Last year a lot of these ended up in the compost and subsequently sprung up all over the garden. Unable to bring myself to pull them out we are now drowning in tomatoes.

Snow - cold, white and good for the soil?
Exciting and novel for the first 24 hours it quickly becomes cold, mushy and tiresome.
On the upside, it turns out snow has measurable benefits to the soil. Some even call it poor man's fertiliser.
