A lot of the skills that used to be used are very eco friendly. Do you have any of these eco friendly skills? Do you still use them?
A lot of the skills that used to be used are very eco friendly. Do you have any of these eco friendly skills? Do you still use them?
I am thinking about the old skills which used things they had to hand, because they grew locally or used recycled materials such as:
bottling, jam making and preserving
willow items, baskets, lampshades
coppicing, drystone walling
curing meats and skins
making home prepartions for toiletries, medicines
making carts, buggies, trailers,
making own gardening implements/tools
bee keeping, making beeswax products
rag rug making, darning - who can darn now?
Any other old fashioned eco friendly skills you have?

No, I don’t know how to do any of that. I suppose I know how to hang wash on a clothes line instead of putting it in a dryer, but then that isn’t exactly bee keeping science.
