  • Today on the smallholding I am showing you the finished replanted firewood plantation, which I had to replant after the failure of the eucalyptus trees.

    Good luck with you planning. Bought some cob nuts after your video, all shooting now. Collected seed lat year for firewood and planting them all out here in Ireland before Easter.

    Hey thank you for sharing so much wisdom on this channel, where about's in the UK are you? I'm in Salisbury however land prices are so expensive here it's a little disheartening

      I’m in Oxfordshire and it’s crazy expensive around here also, we bid on lots of plots for about 10 years but lost out every time and had given up, then my wife just happened to see this plot advertised in the back of a local paper and we just went for it
      The only difference was we got a mortgage extension ready as we put our bid in so we were cash buyers and I think that’s what made the difference
      We paid £24,600 for the plot just under 4 acres nearly 20 years ago now
      People thought I was mad at the time but I’ve met people since who have paid like £90k for an acre or two so I think it’s an investment
      Keep on trying mate and live your dreams

      @@SmallholdingUK Thank you for sharing, I really appreciate it! That's a great way to find something and I'm going to start looking through my local newspaper 24.6k is a steal and is probably worth much more now. I hope you eventually get planning permission, you guys deserve it from what you're sharing!

    Damn shame your application was turned down, may I wish you the very best for the appeal. No justice in this land sometimes. Lovely planted up area, but where did you get that blue sky from? Serious shortage of that colour down here!

    Alright bud, just stumbled over this. I was searching for ideas on growing for wood as we have been lucky enough to move into place with 3 acres including a bit of woodland. Noticed you mentioned you have have an application to planting trees. Didn't know you needed too. Does that apply to everyone? Cheers
