We visit regularly. Cracking day out. I also prep from a historical perspective. We allways pick up a few big blocks of carbolic soap and laundry soap from the gift shop. They are available online too. Nothing finer for personal and general hygiene and easier to store and keep than numerous bottles of the modern equivalent.
That was different and interesting, I'm looking forward to hearing more about your garden plans 👨🌾 Just catching up on vids just now, well done on the hike and hope the knee is getting back to health 👏
I have definitely found that my hobby of experimental archaeology has definitely more to offer prepping than anyone may think. There are alot of useful skills and tools that people seem to have forgotten and yet they used to be things we did and used everyday not that long ago.
Them squares in the garden they do them similar today but they use raised beds about 12-24 inchs above ground easier to manage and dont do your back in
When we designed our beds we decided to not raise them based on how much attention they need in the growing periods. For example, spuds are just around three visits a growing period. First, to dig-in the compost and planting them. Second to feed them during the growing stage. Third and last to dig them up many months later. So, for spuds we didn't raise those beds! For quick growing, like lettuce, the beds can be raised, but for quick growing like peas, they need to grow high, so no raising those beds. If there is a fast crop, there needs to be permanent walkways, like paving. Also for herbs that are visited a lot. But long and simple growers, like spuds, and mangleworzles or sugarbeat, they need not have to be fussed with by the expense and maintenance of a raised bed. So, in conclusion... Raised if frequently used, and paths if frequently visited and or used. Also. Keep the herbs close to the house and mostly raised. Mum will thank you on a Sunday ❤
We, in our day and age can learn a lot from the past, they had to fight every day for their survival and to ease the life they were living. Todays people would suffer much if they were catapulted back into these times. We are used to our modern amenities.

Hi from the North east 😊. Book , the lost ways, how to live without electricity
What an interesting place! I wouldn't mind visiting. I'm an allotment grower. Jolly hard work, but worth it. Good luck with your garden.
Very cool. Thanks.
