New Lifestyler in Martinborough

Hi there,

New to lifestyling having just moved to a flat wind blown field![:0] Have relocated an old villa...so renovating that and planting windbreaks is our first priority! Then plant an orchard.Dreamy plans to grow and rear organically Just trying to get my head around Rayburns and woodburners OMG info overload.
Any advice on all of the above greatfully received...esp organic fruit tree growers and Rayburn servicers
Cheers

Welcome to Martinborough. Wind breaks are definitely a priority. You will need wind break cloth (almost certainly) to protect your young trees and shrubs before they can be big enough to withstand the wind.

Hiya and welcome.. you sound like me 25yrs ago.. flat block, old villa ( complete with leaks )..
you will be surprised how quick everything grows and changes once you start...
we went for the old coalrange ( shacklock ) rather than rayburn etc.. so cant help you there.. have learnt a heap about coalranges thow and can put you in touch with all sorts of experts
sooo... get planting and enjoy your block

Welcome and hi one day sooner than you think you will stop and get a shock how far you have come all the best. Steph us too about same time relocated old villa put in Shaclock threw out electric stove

Welcome to the site. Looks like you're well on the way.

welcome! if you are thinking about what fire to put in I would have loved a rayburn but at $30k to put it in with radiators I went for a contessa instead! $5k with a wetback

Agree - Contessas are great! Whereabouts in M/borough are you? We're in behind the golf course

Hi there, welcome to the list. We have a waterford stanley in our kitchen. Best thing we ever bought over 20 years ago. I just love it.

Welcome to South Wairarapa. Dont forget frost protection for your trees and plants. It can get down to minus 9 in places
