Two years ago our wellie wearing family moved to the rolling wet hills of Mid Wales. We decided to grow our own fruit and veg, keep bees, poultry and build our own furniture with little or no experience.



This is our journey to the good life.

Uses for Eco-board

When we moved in we dismantled our 6x4 chicken shed (which coped well with the move) I decided to upgrade their homemade nesting boxes. I'd used plywood previously with various wood scraps but it was hard to keep clean and I wanted something better.

A trip to the builders merchants revealed Eco-Board, essentially a dark (but spattered with multicolour flecks) sheet of plastic that is sold like plywood but is actually made from recycled bottles.

It can be cut with a saw and screwed/glued as you would with ply but it is wipe clean. Perfect - its going well.
