Re: Go too books

It is what most allotment holders seem to do now in the form of ‘Raised Beds’. It is a spin off of the 19th Century, ‘French Intensive...

Re: Go too books

I have a number of the Ragnar Benson books. Very sensible, simple and Old School. However, if you have read a couple, you have read them all! For down and dirty, physical, staying alive, then it has to ‘ 37.5 degrees- keeping your ass alive’ by Cody Lundin. It will also make you rethink those survi...

Alot of the READER DIGEST books on fleabay and car boots are sold for pennies, alot of them still have valid information in them for gardening and animal husband...

Re: No matter how isolated your bug out property is isn't someone eventually going to come knocking?

there is no where on the British isles you can hide from anyone. that secret bug out area you know, so do others. including the legal owner and their families.
