    We are living in America at the moment. We order suet online, it isn't too expensive. We usually get 6 boxes at a time and keep it in the freezer. When we had sheep we would make our own suet from the core fat. Lamb suet makes delicious dumplings, you do need to store it in the freezer.

    Hi Richard noticed the creosote in your chimney, I would highly recommend a rocket stove mass heater for saving fuel and minimising the risk of chimney fires cause the burn would be so efficient.
    BTW can't wait to start my own farm reading your book was a such a pleasure, cheers for all your work. Kind regards, Szilard

    • @belindaroadley

      You don't anywhere you have mice. We did find cutting milk jugs in half and sowing under the mini cloches pressed down firmly worked, but it was a lot of extra work.

    • @przybyla420
      @przybyla420 3 года назад

      For mice the the home gardener, make little round cages out of hardware cloth with window screen as a roof. 2” diameter circles. Put one over each seed. You can easily start beans, squash, radish and beets in modules, carrots and parsnips too but it is more complicated. I like to sprout them in a paper towel in a baggie. Treat with simmering water, then soak a few hrs then “sow” on the towel.

    @TheRainHarvester 4 года назад

    Why not only run the lights at night, but for a shorter time than you are running them currently? That way you get daylight then more light at night? ( Reduced intensity but longer). Would that help, or hurt?

    • @thetessellater9163
      @thetessellater9163 4 года назад

      If you give them a longer 'day length' in the nursery than they get when planted out, it can just trigger flowering, which may not be productive.

  • @Horse237
    @Horse237 4 года назад +2

    Soaking seeds for 8 hours reduces the time it takes to harvest the resulting plant. This is very useful for farmers who live in areas with short growing seasons. And also fr farmers who want to beat their competitors to the market with produce while prices are still seasonally high. It also increases the germination as after 8 hours we will see which seeds appear to be dead. No point in planting them.

    • @deinse82
      @deinse82 4 года назад

      That would all be true if you sowed your seeds outdoors, and they were low enough quality that you had to go over them one by one to see which ones are actually alive.
      None of that applies if you're a competent commercial farmer, because you start your plants indoors, and you buy high quality seeds that don't need "looking over".
