Hello from the Midlands

Hi All.
My Name is David, I�m 32 and have never been classed as �green fingered�.
I�ve recently moved out from the hustle and bustle of Stafford town centre to the middle of know where with lots of fresh air, good soil and space to grow things 
There are already 2 vegi patches marked out (that are very overgrown) and a greenhouse that is in the need of some repair.
I�m really looking forward to growing my own food and want to be as sustainable as possible.
The only clear steps I have made is making what I believe is, a very good chicken coop (I made this from scratch and will post up some pics later if anyone is interested). I�ll be picking up some rescue ex battery hens at the end of this week.

As the forum name suggests I also brew my own beer (another hobby I�ve recently got into) and would love to grow my own hops to brew with.

I�m looking forward to being part of this forum and any advice any one can offer to a complete newbie would be greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards

David

I'll try and get some pictures up later on today

Hi and welcome 

It looks like a lovely spot to live in.  That garden is a good size as well 

Here's some pictures of my 'to be repaired' greenhouse with a very sorry hop plant growing up the side....

No mans land at the end of the garden needs to be reclaimed (which isnt going to be fun) and the 2 small vegi patches need digging out..... lots of prep work needed......

Welcome to the site and congrats on your veggie patches / greenhouse!
