  I'm also tagging along solo with the Tour de Fleece for the 1st time. I started spinning in October on a drop spindle and I now have 3 drop spindles and an Ashford Traveller I came across for £95 in a charity shop a couple of months ago. My goal is to spin for at least half an hour every day, to improve my wheel spinning and get the hang of my bottom whorl drop spindle. I also hope to spin a sweater quantity of yarn.

  Hi... My classmate said i'm a smart student...from elementary to highschool. But after i graduated i realized how stupid i was. I just learnt all the theory but i don't know nothing about real life how to support myself with the knowledge i have learnt. I just realized curiculum in my country is sucks. Just theory. We don't even taught how to master basic skills. So i'm a reader... Just a week ago i found an online book seller sold a book by john seymour. The title really caught my attention. I really want to know how people In old days did household and traditional craft. And recently i found he have another book. Self sufficient. I'm unemployee for 7 years now. Strugglinh to afford my daily foods. I really want to buy those 2 books but inflation and taxes makes the price so expensive for me. I had to choose wether i should to sell 2 gr of my gold ring or not

  The US (and California) is/was a sad blind spot of Kateness in this world. The song "And Dream of Sheep" on her most successful album "Hounds of Love" (1985) is the start of a 7-track cycle of songs on the B-side called "The Ninth Wave", that is considered as one of the best conceptual albums of all time. It's about a person drowning in the water and going through despair and hallucinations until being eventually rescued. "And Dream of Sheep" is one of my favourites though. Side A had 5 more commercial songs on it, 4 of them were available as singles, including "Running Up That Hill" and "Cloudbusting", which has one of the most iconic music videos, lasting 7 minutes (the middle part is lengthened), featuring well known actor Donald Sutherland and herself, dealing with the memoirs of Peter Reich about his relationship to his father Wilhelm Reich ("A Book of Dreams" IIRC).

  Another recommodation: "This Woman's Work" (1988), especially written for John Hughes movie "She's Having a Baby" (with Kevin Bacon and Elizabeth McGovern). At the climax of that film, there's 3 1/2 minutes of just playing this song combined with Kevin Bacon waiting in the hallway and waiting room of a hospital and flashbacks to happy moments of their common life. Very touching. You could as well looking for her collaboration with Peter Gabriel (known as Genesis singer and solo) from his album "So" called "Don't Give Up" (1987) - please use the hugging video - which is kind of a life saving song (allegedly also holding Elton John away from alcohol, but that's another story)...

  I bought another John Seymour book, The Fat of the Land. when I was about 14 and was totally hooked by it. I devoured it much the same as you and dreamt of a totally self sufficient life style. Later i got the book you speak of, but it was titled The Complete Book of Self Sufficiency. I never really achieved the desires that were aroused by those books, mainly i think from a lack of self confidence and the fear of not conforming, but I do think it was probable my true calling in life. A path not taken.

  @@terriwilliams4938 For small spaces it is usually fine for annuals since it is possible to make enough compost (mine tends to made from grass clippings and leaves) to keep production high and the added material goes some way to reduce erosion. Most of my land is not flat and it is possible to use the less than ideal terrain for tree crops and it takes some time but the land doesn't need amendments afterwards and the trees tend to stop and prevent erosion. The fastest yeilders for us are berry bushes (a little invasive) and stone fruits trees. I've planted sweet chestnuts (great for winter starches), walnuts, hazels and pecan (valuable oils), apple, cherries, plums, honeylocust (very high sugar content of the paste inside the pods), berry bushes. In between rows of trees I have some annuals. To begin with the annuals provided the production but the tree crops have taken over bit by bit as the years progress and the rows have got smaller. The trees also add fertility to the ground with dropped leaves. Although my singular yields are not high compared to an orchard (my collective yields are high) I've no inputs and also don't need to take on debt so every year has been productive, some years more than others. Harvesting, pruning and processing wood is the dominant effort now. The wood can be used for fuel, for growing mushrooms and smoking meats. I still maintain some annual production.

  The same book has been with me for years, not as long as you but I think I was in my early twenties. I still have it. Me and my wife are also in our fifties but have just purchased a 5-acre field and I want to slowly get into growing more of our own food. The only thing that would make it better would be to have a house on the field but that is unlikely with the planning laws here. I hope you have success with all your ventures and I am glad you got somewhere close to your dream eventually.

  All seeds should be germinated before placing them into the tower for maximum growth. Also, don’t forget to remove any extra plants. You only want a single plant growing in each cube. With the exception of spring onions or chives. But even those you should limit to 3 or four (for the spring onions.)

  @@abou8963 That’s not exactly a good idea. It all depends on the seeds and how you germinate them and a few other factors. The reason there are more than a few seeds in a pod is because not all of them will germinate. So, I would recommend leaving them in. Seeds are pretty cheap and can store a while.
