The author and teacher has inspired a lot of people, I have had his book for a few years and it's an incentive in my plans to farm in Europe in the next few years with my son. I also just met a group of young farmers in the UK who have been his apprentices and done the course on their own land, with really impressive results after only one year. See the tool section especially. His ideas mesh well with minimalism, stewardship, tiny homes, extended families, low external input agriculture etc. (Can also be done with less investment than he recommends when the situation requires that, as in these photos of the 1yr old farm in UK, which is providing a living for a family of 4 with 3 adults working part-time, equivalent to 1 fulltime 40 hr week).

Posted by KateOahuI saw some pretty flowers on a walk today. I’d never seen a white Hibiscus before. And I do not know what the pink flowers are.
