Hi everyone,
I'm Rob in North Hampshire and I'm a student. I've just bought quarter of an acre in my village. Everything is still in the planning stages and the plans keep changing but I'm making progress. As I only have a small piece of land it's quite a challenge to fit everything. I'm picking up three Kune-Kunes in a few weeks' time and about to plant a few fruit trees to get me started. The plan is for part of it to work as a small forest garden, taking the principles and scaling it down. One side of my land is bordered by a stream which I'd like to see fish return to. Does anyone have any ideas on how I could encourage them? I know in some of the other local streams there are fish so they are around. Also, whilst paddling in the stream I've found quite a few empty "mussel" shells. It's possible that someone has bought some from the shops, thrown the shells in the river and they've been washed down to me, but they don't seem like the usual sea mussels. Will post a picture when I'm home on the weekend.
Anyway, there's my introduction, and I look forward to getting to know you all.
Rob
