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.

Hi, I can do dry-stone walling, hedge laying and coppicing. I still use them as I am a gardener, although there isn’t much need for walling around here, and the hedge laying is in less demand with the advent of tractor flails. Hope this helps.

I can do bottling, jam making & preserving & haven’t recently but will be doing again soon. I use peppermint oil (dilute in water) for tummy ache, cloves for toothache & salt water for various things.
I can’t darn, but I can knit (very basically!)
