New Members say hello

Post: # 137663Post lostinthesupermarket »

I thought that I would say hello as I have just joined the forum. I been trying to be self sufficientish for nearly twelve months - we have some chickens and a friend and I are working towards getting some pigs - we are looking for some land to house them at the moment. We grow veggies etc and make chutney etc. the residue we sell.

However, with regards to power and water etc. I would be really grateful for help and advice - I would love to set up a grey water harvesting system - I wonder if anyone can help with this and the solar thingys!!

Love to hear from all

Not much help in that area, but someone will be. In the meantime, welcome.
