In this video I go around our property and hunt out the wild blackberry vines. They weren't all quite ready to pick, but after 20 mins I had a good couple of bowls full. Obviously there were a few eaten along the way.. product control I like to call it.. during which I discovered that we have the really sharp (larger) ones and the much more subtle tasting smaller ones.

A short video to show you how we are creating a symmetrical kitchen garden with a central breeze block bed and pallet collars arranged in threes on the left and right.. Today (28th April 2022) we started to install more of the right hand collars ready for use later in the year. https://www.adventuresinearth.com/ @earthadventures [Gettr | Steller | Odysee] #adventuresinearth #countrylife #kitchengarden

In the first of 3 videos recorded on 2nd May 2022 I take you to see the back 'flower' bed on the North West side of the 'Top Lawn', backing onto the dry stone wall. This is sheltered from wind coming from the north-west and receives full sun, but it still gets a lot of South-Easterly wind. The plan for this area is to plant more similar to a food forest idea (taken from permaculture principles). We started by planting some gooseberries and black and red currant bushes.. then I planted 2 artichokes... BIG mistake.. the slugs love artichokes! https://www.adventuresinearth.com/ @earthadventures [Getter | Steller | Odysee] #adventuresinearth #artichokes #kitchengarden

Today's talk is about the unexpected change of washing & cleaning chemicals I realised I had to make when we decided to move to the country. Many people have been moving towards more environmentally or eco friendly cleaning products for some time, but moving to the country kind of forces you to do that. Why? Because you are not on the mains drainage and sewerage system like you are when you live in a town. In this video I discuss my beginner's understanding of a septic tank and why using bleach, washing powder and other harsh chemicals is not only bad for the environment but bad for my septic tank. Take a look as I show you some of the alternatives I have found that are not super expensive and possible for the frugal householder to make a change towards. In this video I mention links to a few products (if they are on Amazon they do contain affiliate links) you don't have to buy them, this is just to show you the ones I was talking about in the video (all prices correct as at 3rd September 2022) Ecozone Washing Ball - 1000 washes for £17.99 https://amzn.to/3TqVxq4 Sainsbury's Greencare Dishwasher tablets at 10p per tablet / £3 per box as of today: https://www.sainsburys.co.uk/gol-ui/product/greencare-dishwasher-tablets-30-wash Claro Eco Dishwasher Tablets at 13p per tablet / £26.99 for 2 x 100 box https://amzn.to/3cCHQ6G Ecover Rinse Aid: https://amzn.to/3Q53RbX Soda Crystals: https://amzn.to/3RjCKel Citric Acid for cleaning: https://amzn.to/3QZOmUb White Vinegar: https://amzn.to/3Azg82F Thanks for watching, for ways to support me please see below!
