A guide to setting up a thriving, nature-friendly smallholding that’s compatible with modern life. This eBook is my honest account of smallholding life and how we created our little farm. I cover all the topics you need to get your own smallholding dream off the ground. There’s insights into how we built our vegetable gardens, planting an orchard, planting trees and hedges and sowing wildflower meadows. I also provide some example project plans to demonstrate how to phase the workload of creating a smallholding over a few years. I have provided designs for smallholding layouts for spaces between 0.5 and 2.5 acres. And of course I go into depth on looking after our animals, from building animal houses, to rearing, feeding, bedding and admin. I have included bees, laying hens, meat chickens, ducks, geese and pigs in this guide.
