  • I will not, I own this property now and will do what I like with it! The front garden has taken care of its self for the past 2 years now. Loads of foxgloves growing right now and a mix of some other things. I do remove a few thorns though when they start getting big.

    Mainly focusing effort on the back garden, got some shrubs growing but want them to get bigger to properly take up the area they are growing in and cover some of the bare soil a bit more. Its getting better over time. I think a cat keeps trying to dig in some of them too and having bigger established shrubs in the way should prevent that but it takes time. Overall focus is on low maintenance things.












  • Wish I knew, bought a handline to try from a kayak. No license so it barely cost me anything to try it, ended up feeling motion sickness after a little while and caught nothing. Might be worth trying to get a basic rod and go from land, but there is so much terminology I don’t even vaguely understand to go through. Think there are a bunch of different types, like you can just leave some hooks in the water and wait until something gets caught, or you may need to constantly be reeling in the line to get something to bite it. I know I would rather go with just leaving a few lines in the water, could have multiple out then too.

    Had quite a bit more luck with crabs from the shore, though they are fairly small. Could probably make a nice crab fried rice with a few of them though and then use the bodies for stock. Not sure how much if any fishing regulations apply to restrict what I can do there though. Mainly limitations of method, like how many nets, how large. There are no catch limits on green shore crabs that I am aware of, brown crabs have got a minimum size and possibly a number limit for personal consumption.

    Then of course I have no idea where is actually a good place, and I don’t know anyone interested in it to talk to that could help give useful advice.
