To be fair @steveR isn't it a more right wing position not to redistribute wealth as benefits? It's a valid point, why subsidise busted business models unless there's some public good coming from it? I don't agree with a lot of what the Welsh Gov are trying to implement, and believe that they...

NHS Wales: we were restricted to five or seven elements to test. There were at least two egg options, probably three (yolk/white/combined) iirc. Because there were several severe allergens at play, our consultant got us to perform an external touch skin test on a sensitive area that could be...

Sorry, I thought you were joking, it sounded like a parody of the Daily Mail. My mistake. The 'government' haven't secured our borders for various reasons, which is quite ironic itself really. I believe that pretty much anything SPS related that's imported to the UK from a third country via the...

Is that seed and hay, or seed hay? To be frank, we have plenty of meadow, I just need to make a bailing press soon. We have goats, ducks, and chickens at the moment, and it's how much we focus on duck meat Vs broilers. With the price of feed (at least buying 20/25kg sacks of organic growers) the...

Cheers. Can only see one item (sacked) on their website. Do you know whether they have other stuff besides that please?

Haha, yeah, it's all relative. Depends what it is too, lol. Only a few hundred kilo's.

Thanks. I thought that it was a member only hook-up at the sa? I'll check later. Cheers!

What's the best way to find small quantities of local organic grain (for livestock), manure etc please? This land was certified organic, but whilst we maintain the practices, it's not worth paying for whilst we're not currently trading. St. Clears.

Haha, no worries, didn't know whether you'd messed up, or me and my phone :) Good tidy job btw!

Did you mean to post a pic btw?

Well yeah, but replacing plastics with wood keeps carbon in the ground and sequesters carbon temporarily.

Well, one could use a part of it to make a well made table that doesn't have a planned obsolescence, or a spoon, or a dashboard, box, basket etc.... Replacing the use of plastic AND sequestering for a longer time, just may help.

No hose line from mains water?

Thanks. Yes, the land is part of what's been horticulture for yonks, but hasn't been planted, although the previous owners had tarped part of the area out in preparation for expansion. The 1/² acre horti's distinctly fenced from our neighbouring meadow, so no change of use pp required...

Thank you George.

Sorry for being a duffer in advance. We'd like a polytunnel, 20x60ft. The intended site isn't curtilage. It's connected to what's previously been used for organic horticultural purposes, and has been advanced glastir until recently. We currently don't trade, but intend to in the future. Do we...

On the bright side, there is a remote possibility that these emissions, that should be easy to cap, mean that we've overestimated the overall warming effect.

Two things that you may not be considering: Firstly, barriers to trade to suit larger businesses that effect the smaller ones disproportionately. Secondly, adverse 'externalities', which large specialised concerns create.

Aren't there dual rules in France depending on the size of a farm? Personally, I think that any farm with an intensive pig or poultry operation, for example, should be classed as industrial, not farm.

Maybe the challenge is to stop until it is sustainable.
