Title: New on the site
Post by: dobermannman on February 02, 2016, 13:53: Hello to everyone,
I'm new obviously, I live in North Wales and have a Landshare site that I have had for just over 3 years now.
Never successfully found a site that is really helpful and not obsessed with the size of their carrots! Root veg unfortunately is one thing I can't grow due to very shale oriented soil , but most other things do really well.
I'm hoping I can get some advice and maybe give some. Look forward to chatting to people.

... but chatting a-plenty there be!!!

Be good to have some photos of where you grow your veggies and hear about how your landshare works.

I have put a few pics in my gallery, the place was advertised on the landshare website so I took it on. It was very hard work as it was part of an old walled garden/orchard and not been touched for 35 years! I fenced part off put in beds and paths and planted as I cleared the first year. The people who own the estate saw it as unused unsightly ground so let me use it in exchange for some of the crops.
