Amanda Healy

Salmesbury, Preston, Lancashire

I am based in Lancashire, Goosefoot Woodcraft and Permaculture.

I have been doing no dig since i started veg growing a few years back. I have just under 3 acres, most of the land is for my ponies, but I have an area for my polytunnel and veg and herb growing. I manage the land as sustainably as possible. The hedges are not cut, certain areas I am laying the old hawthorns. I planted 150 trees 13 years ago and I am on with coppicing and using the wood for various projects. I have a lot of horse muck which I bag up and leave at the gate, I also deliver. I use Miscanthus as a horse bedding this rots down really quickly.

I am retired, but have had to return to part time work. I manage on my own but am looking for likeminded people to share the growing. I have workshops planned for this summer to hopefully bring in some income.

I have been following Charles for years maybe from when I did my Permaculture course a while back. The no dig was a life saver for me, I'm learning all the time, I hope this year to be more organised with my succession planting and planning!
