Hello from New Zealand

Another lurker finally introducing themselves!

I live in the south of New Zealand, and am interested in self sufficiency. We have just moved to a house in town, with a tiny, shady, backyard (will be asking for planting advise later!), and we also have 20 acres of pasture, about 10 minutes away. Sort of like a large allotment, I guess!

I have enjoyed reading the posts, and will be checking in here often. 8)

Thanks for the welcome!

I am in Dunedin, so a bit further south. I also lived in Melbourne for a few years, so was south of you then, too!

Hi there - I am new here - but enjoying the type of people - so I will be around a bit.
My sister lives in Christchurch - and we are due a visit - cannot wait but I guess it is years off - and I must overcome my opposition to air travel (easily done).
Your plot sounds very interesting - glad you are here.
Best wishes
