I just got this book last week, and it's by an Australian author. I was intriged however, she suggests completely different methods than any other books Ive read, such as scrapping the seperate beds and crop rotation, and growing vegetables, and flowers mixed up as it creates for a more healthy gard...

Haha, this is exciting, a strange bird in your garden. I look forward to you finding out. Shame it wasn't a pelican.

Two more questions then, how do I know if the pear tree is dwarf rootstock, I'm not familiar with this term, so I'm just assuming it means it has shorter roots or not? &I'd like to trust the bees, except with their population in decline, and this garden not bein...

I am new to this self sufficient-ish lifestyle and want to get an apple tree this weekend. I'll try to provide as much info as I can so you can help me. Our garden is in Bournemouth 1.5km from the coast I'm looking to plant an apple tree in the same corner of the garden where there is already an est...

Hello, my name is Sam. I'm 18 and in my final year of college at the moment. I study Animal Management, and this is where my fascination with self-sufficiency began.
