Finally getting a day to install the sheep wire. Jason is back to help bringing his 0.9 tonne CAT digger to tension the stock fencing around my yard. Thing is he is very busy. he will be late to the party and we don't have much time before it's dark. Watch to find out how far we get!
The digger can't pull the wire any tighter. we have to use staple nails instead of knots to secure the sheep wire and we don't have time to install the barb wire get the D-rail fence up or fit the gates before it starts to get dark.

I want to build an off-grid homestead in Northern Ireland where I will grow and feed my family with chemical free and full of nutrients-packed food on a daily basis. I want to create a healthy lifestyle that my three kids will look back on fondly and to a place they will eventually call home.

My history.
I have a level 3 cert in sports turf horticulture from where I started my work as a greenkeeper working on golf courses. I have spent alot of my working career both around and driving different types of construction machinery. I have also learnt a thing or two working with plenty of highly skilled trades men. This accompanied with my own skill set, creativity, resorcefulness and efficient approach will aid me in turning this 4.25 acres of unused land into the most fertile landscape in the area, using regenative and holistic farming methods to grow my own meat and veg.
