We grow our own food in a suburban village in the North East of England. Follow us as we keep up the battle to be self-sufficient.

Sustainable fuel
The wood store at home was getting a bit low so the chainsaw came back into operation yesterday and we chopped up lots of branches which were chopped from hedges and trees last year. They have had lots of time to dry out so are ready for burning in our stove at home - this appliance heats the whole house. The branches were initially fed to the goats. They eat the leaves, bark and twigs. What's left is fuel.
We still have lots of branches to chop up so we have plenty of fuel to get us through the winter.
