| Description | We are a family of three and a dog living by the sea in the east of England, trying to be as self sufficient as possible without being fanatical about it. We try to structure our garden on organic, Permaculture principles, recycling our rainwater and grey water through a reed bed. Our home uses solar energy and waste wood for space and water heating and we have a solar elecrticity generation system. We grow and eat our own vegetables, fruit, eggs and honey. We are creating all of this ourselves (DIY) where possible from recycled materials.
We have also just acquired a piece of ancient woodland and some of our time will be spent there managing the wood (including planting) and clearing and planting a small woodland vegetable plot. |
