I'm a long way off from being self sufficient but I have a allotment and try to harvest something throughout the year,this time of year it's easy so I havn't had to buy veg for a few months

I'm also a long way off from being green but am quite a good recycler and go out of my way as a cleaner to sort and recycle the things that get thrown out. I'm in my 60's and grew up on a council estate in Fishponds, in those days it was a way of life pig waste and papers were collected and bottles and jars were took back for pennies which was extra sweet money.
enough of the past, I'm looking forward to learning new ways to save money and save waste
