Well its one year TODAY we moved into the new place, i did write a post regarding how well we insulated the place and how cheap the our Lpg gas was ....heating and hot water ....Lightspeed was changing over to a pellet furnace at about the same time and suggested i give an update on actual costs over 12 months .....£8.82 per week is the true cost....this is excluding our wood burning stove (that we use most in winter) and only use gas for 1 hour first thing in the mornings (heating wise) ......i know our place is Small but its dirt cheap ,if fact all our utility bills are, .........in fact we take a shower once a month....whether we need it or not !.....yeah i know!.

The last raised bed is now filled, in the polytunnel today made two more raised beds and filled them also 9" deep 3ft x 4ft made hoop covers on both and fixed ....had to re'arrange the straw bales.....will test the PH tomorrow on all beds .....prolly need to be limed .....the raised beds in the polytunnel i intend to trial this winter to see what can be grown,the hoops act as another heat zone although they are within the main polytunnel .
