Home Farmer Magazine  |  May 2015
The May issue of Home Farmer is packed with lots of friendly and helpful advice, from maximising your runner bean harvest and growing spices, to creating straw bale beds – a great way to grow produce even on a hard surface – and dealing organically with pests around the veg plot. From a DIY perspective we also have three practical projects – making a bench complete with storage made from pallets; repairing a five-bar gate using proper mortise and tenon joints - an essential woodworking skill for anyone looking to make professional garden furniture; and constructing a floor and roof for a National beehive. And after all that effort you’ll no doubt be hungry, so we have LizzieB’s hearty Northumberland recipes, including Pan Haggerty, Pease Pudding, Stotties and Singin’ Hinnies, all washed down with some delicious Kombucha tea from Seren’s kitchen. Yes, the May issue of Home Farmer really is smoking… no, it really is ‒ we have a magnificent garden shed cold smoker worth over £1,100 as a prize, donated by The Posh Shed Company – a truly magnificent way of making your own space just that little bit more individual, whilst enjoying some wonderful home-smoked produce.
