I've been meaning to add this for a while. It's a very handy site that covers all things smallholding, from starting a garden to preserving the harvest and keeping chickens. Hope you find it useful

Looks like a very good reference, though it isn't specific to my area. I'll be doing a lot of reading on there. Thanks for sharing!

OK, here's another story that starts - Once upon a time in a forest called Uwharrie. A young and not particularly knowledgeable, Special Forces student was undergoing survival training. One particular task was hypnotizing a chicken before doing him in. I don't know why, but is was cool at the time. You place his head on the ground (beak down) and slowly draw a line in the dirt from his beak to about six inches. Continue tracing the line in the dirt for about 30-60 seconds and then slow to a stop, The chicken will not move from that position and you can place stick over his neck, etc.
HEY!!!!!!!!! I said I didn't know what it proved and still don't, but it was fun.

I got a machine and I took over the world... In one weekend. I did it because I was looking for a project, and it was either take over the world, or learn french. So I took over the world, and next weekend, I can learn french.

Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing. Helen Keller
