As you can see, my garden is continuing to suffer from the drought and is quaking at its boots regarding a hosepipe ban.
The water companies are starting to wake up to the fact the water is not just running off the “parched land” and isn’t just being absorbed by plants.
My IBCs are full and the path is now 6″ under water.
All I need is a couple of fountains for a nice water feature.
I'm Tim, a 31yr old ex-Allotmenteer. My wife and I used to have a small 5 rod plot in South Essex where we grew all manner of veg. I'm also involved in brewing the odd keg of beer.
When getting down the allotment got too hard and our circumstances changed we bought a house with a 65ftx30ft garden, which we're converting into a mini orchard and veg beds.
We get up to some weird and wonderful projects - we've built a small boat, a pig roaster (powered by a windscreen wiper), a chicken run, raised beds and try our hands at all sorts of stuff getting us closer to being 'self sufficientish'.
The hope is to introduce chickens soon and hopefully let them free range during the day.
