I am a wife, mum to four outrageously cool kids and a solopreneur (isn't amazing that so many of us can work from home now!!).
We rent a 10 acre property that we hope to buy soon, a fabulous house, tank water and greedy gardens that have had a long relationship with Farmer's Friend.
We brought 8 chooks with us here, added a bunch more - but as there must be a KFC sign up somewhere that I haven't seen yet - they slowly disappeared as enclosures failed to protect or we weren't home early enough to put the girls away in Guantanamo Bay.
It was a bit demoralising and I put my Earth Garden mags away to focus on my kids and businesses for a while.
But now we are back to our plans to make this place grow us a pantry and build a flock of friends again. Starting with 2 little girls - I couldn't go past the sign Sussex - Bantam. They had to come home. It's been 2 months and they have survived, so the location and structure of their new pen must be working.
Cow poop is being ploughed in and I'm onto the bindi's and Farmer's Friends. Mulching and Digging - who needs a gym when you have a garden!!
