Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 9
Hullo Kiwififer :) The fact that you're thinking about what to do if things get a bit iffy, is a good place to be.

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 9
My preps have been planting some onion sets, and general allotment work in preparation for the spring. I created a couple of no dig raised beds last week, so they need to be left to rot down and do their thing over the next few months. IF war does kick off in Europe, or if we have some other crisis ...
