Plus it's that all year commitment and feeding, buying 2 or 3 weaners and growing them on for a few months works best for me personally. Be interested to know how you get on with having them in pig 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers. Yeah thats our plan aswell pal, although we are guna look at wet canning to make it shelf stable. I'm thinking of building a store. Just a breeze block shed well insulated no windows or anything. Just shelved out. That would be fine for storing surplus veg over winter and anything we have canned. Freezers for meat and blanched veg too. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
