Does anyone remember it? As I remember, the inventor was farming some where near Basinstoke. I presume the oil price shock of the mid 70s killed it, but I'd like to know what happened to it, coz the product was good enough to eat! JVM

So they’ve got the same chassis, gearbox, engine and suspension. Body panelling are different marginally but effectively they are the same vehicle. The price difference is £5000-£6000 for the same model with the Amarok being more expensive. However the Amarok has 5 years warranty where as the...

Hunt saboteurs reported Jeremy Clarkson to the police over allegations he filled in badger setts on Diddly Squat Farm - but the TV presenter-turned-farmer has denied doing so, claiming he shot all of the animals instead.

I'm sure it's been covered somewhere on here before, but what are the rules on septic tanks these days? If you have one at a property and need to move it, I assume the replacement would have to come up to certain regs. What is required these days? Or do you just do it and pretend it was always...

Has anyone done this and what was the best way to establish herbs into an existing ley

I’ve got a 60x45ft barn that could be used for hiring out during certain times of the year. It’s a modern barn, concrete panels, steel framed etc. so not very pretty but functional! Just curious if anyone else has experience in this area? It could be used for various events, short term storage...

I need a small amount of 'mains' electricity, around 800 to 1000 watts off grid, all year round. Can anyone recommend a system or supplier that would do this, presumably using solar, wind, and batteries? There seem to be so many cowboys in this industry it's a job to see the wood from the trees.

Just had the grandchildren staying for a few days from Hampshire . I have found it very frustrating.. no please or thank-you 's uttered ,table manners non existent! As grandparents should we be trying to correct this or is it non of our business ? We don't often get to see them and they...

This year it seems like every block of land I’ve taken on for stubble turnips has got a footpath next to it. I’m pondering the idea of putting signs up along the lines of “If you have a concern about these sheep, don’t put it on Facebook, please call me on …” Anyone do similar? Am I asking for...

Anyone else finding their bookings are well down on last year? Expenses are the same spending a lot of time cutting grass an keeping ablutions clean etc. I wonder if it's lack of spending power or they're all back to flying off.

"After the Dartmoor decision, the Labour Party promised to pass a similar right to walk and camp across England and Wales to ensure land is not off-limits." https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/8a09d336-1b34-11ee-8434-240b5ab9f9b1?shareToken=720a5db7573d6f7a53575c72501eb5ae Anyone thinking of...

Tickets have gone on sale for this year's Groundswell. We have, even more so than usual, got a fantastic line-up of speakers who'll give you great ideas, advice and stimulation. Nicole Masters and Joel Williams will both be giving talks from first principles for those thinking of moving to a...

Hello! We’d like to introduce you to Off Grid Camp, which gives you the opportunity to diversify your farm income without the hassle or initial investment of a conventional campsite. We basically offer a platform linking 4x4 overlanders (Land Rovers + roof tent or similar setup) with...

We have been collaborating with our friends in Falkland in Fife, to put together a smaller version of Groundswell on July 1st 2023. There won't be rows of shiny drills working, but there will be lots of talks and panel discussions, many with a uniquely Scottish focus...

As above, fortunately I am not the person in question, but unfortunately I think someone I now is.

I’ve got a fuel store running a 12v transfer pump (Piusi bi pump) on a tractor battery. I was thinking of hooking up a solar panel to the battery to trickle charge and keep it topped up. Max workload on pump would be at harvest where it may work for an hour everyday, after that it would be...
