Hi from South Wales

Post: # 99208Post Captain Caveman »

I've had a look at "ish" before but now getting over-excited with the time of year and joined. Like the advice and ethos so far so I'll probably be bothering you all for ideas in the near future, but hope I can give back too

Have just bought a place with a nice bit of land and looking to grow stuff and manage the land a bit. I'd love to stay organic but it does seem hard for certain things and also the line between organic and non-organic is finer than I thought. I'm sure I'll be posting later on the appropriate boards in more detail

Here's looking forward to harvest time!

Cavey

Hiya, welcome to the forum!

Ask away if you need tips on the organic side of things... As long as you are only growing for yourself, you don't need to worry too much about the "fine line". But I do have the Soil Association standards in a drawer near me. :wink:

Ahoy Cavey! :salute:

Ina's right on the 'fine line'. Growing for yourself is fine, but being registered for selling to Joe Public is a different matter.... Growing organically isa grand excuse for having weeds though! :lol:

Love'd that cartoon :lol:

I was born and brought up in Monmouth....now sadly imprisoned with life in flat boring Cambridgeshire where there's NO chance of owning land unless you want something that flodds 8 times a year!

Enjoy :cheers:
