Mike and Al get together to discuss early October on the respective homesteads. We talk late harvests, early sowings and booze. Thanks for listening.

We\'re back talking foraging, harvest, preserving, energy and especially wood stoves. Hear what Mike has been up to on the farm and how the honey harvest has gone this year after the disastrous start.

Mike and Alan have a general catch up on the season so far. Things have been going well, especially at the farm, so we talk harvest and sowing as well as timber and preparing for the winter ahead.

Mike and Alan return with what should have been part 2 of episode 9, glutbusters. We\'re at the farm working on a glut of courgettes as we discuss how to deal with gluts of courgettes, borlotti beans and tomatoes. There\'s quite a bit of background noise as a result. Recipes to follow on the Facebook group.

Alan and Mike return for a brief catch up on the events of the last few weeks. We talk weather, tomatoes and life laundry. A few apologies to be made for the slow turn around, my cough in the early part of the recording, my appalling editing and no second segment this week. There\'s lots of worthwhile content here though, so many thanks for listening.

Mike and Al discuss cooking good food to save money and get into the weeds of money saving recipes including some serious post-war dessert recipes. We also have the usual catch up on sowing, weeding, watering and harvesting as well as an update from the apiary. Thanks for listening.

Mike and Alan return to discuss a hectic start to summer. We talk about sowing, planting and bees amongst other things as we tour Alan\'s allotment. Discussion then turns to tips for saving money on your shopping bill. Thanks for listening.

Mike and Alan return with another episode of the podcast. We discuss out efforts through the month of May so far before moving on to a dive in to how growing vegetables can save you money. Given the current backdrop of price increases we suggest ways in which you can grow to save on your grocery bills.

In a world where we\'re all feeling the pinch, Mike and Alan discuss starting up homesteading on a budget. We quickly realise we may have been a bit too generous with it, but come and join in the game on the Facebook group. You\'re starting with a few basic tools and a basic kitchen set up. How far can you make £50 go in setting up a new homestead?

It\'s a quick turnaround this time as we get together to make nucleus boxes for swarm trapping. Amid the the drills and bandsaw, we discuss spring gardening, building swarm traps and quail. Please send feedback via our Facebook group.
