Hellcat Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 When we went to the Eden Project last month, Ian bought a book, for no other reason than that he liked the title. 21st Century Smallholder, by Paul Waddington. Published by Eden Project Books, ISBN 190391969X try this website: www.booksattransworld.co.uk/eden Its really cool, looks at everything, from gardening, to bees, chickens (yay!!), piggies, to streamlining water usage, how to become more eco-friendly and trying to be 'waste-neutral'. I have just finished reading it cover to cover and its full of handy hints and tips, from growing plants in containers on the windowsill to having a big garden to 'play' with. Recommended reading.

Hellcat Posted July 5, 2006 Author Share Posted July 5, 2006 Forgot to mention, £12.99. I thought that was a bargain. Now we are plotting domestic wind turbines, new boilers, etc! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hellcat Posted July 5, 2006 Author Share Posted July 5, 2006 Took all 3 of ours. It was great. They had plenty of space to run around and enough things to interest them so they didnt get bored. We got there about 10.30 and left at 5. Took a picnic. Excellent place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
