My aim is to live and experiment in simplicity to let natural cycles grow through my soul. It’s not only an ethical ideology our future depends on a sustainable blueprint, I want to let go of the modern lifestyle and re-educate myself. Learn the skills that are almost forgotten.
I live in a large rented house in yorkshire, which I share with my partner, son, another couple and their dog Brin.
We have a large garden which we intend to put to productive use. We aim to grow as much of our veg as possible, recycle all our green waste in the form of compost and as much as we can glean the treasures from the wild larder on our doorstep.
We don’t want to eat only veg however so we will be raising chickens and possibly other livestock. We also hope to be sampling wild meat too.
It’s also a chance for us to experience communal living. We hope one day to set up a co-op and get a place of our own. This is the first steps towards that dream.
Sorry everybody but Ive deleted all your comments from here.
Hi,
The picture of your garden looks great! It’s helped me to remember what I am trying to achieve and give me some inspiration. All I have is grass, grass, grass; no actual plants, and the only trees are a couple of pines!
When I started 8 years ago thats all we had too. Grass, a concrete path, washing line and no real boundry.
I only got rid of the last patch of grass last year. There is still room for improvement and I’m no expert my knowledge comes from lots and lots of mistakes.
This is great. Thanks for sharing your efforts and learning.
Thank you for sharing your experiences, there is much that others can learn from people like you.
Life is an adventure, so make it a bloody good one!
Sustainability and simpler living is something that we also aspire to.
