Blog Roll: Farm in my Pocket

Every now and again, I will be introducing you to Green, Eco, or Sustainable style Blogs around the Internet that I read. Today it's time for:

Farm in my Pocket.

http://www.farminmypocket.co.uk/

Why I read it:
Well apart from the style of writing, the main point is that they give very well written informational articles. This is not so much a blog site per sé, but more of a guide to small scale farming. It may not all be applicable to farming an allotment (ie. raising animals), but a lot of their articles certainly are. For example they have a good list of articles surround topics such as compost and various vegetables. There is a distinct lack of comments on many of their articles, which suggests that they may not be reaching the audience level that they should. But so long as they put out a decent list articles, then I will certainly be reading.

Regularity of updates: Weekly
On the whole they tend to do weekly updates. Their articles are long and well rounded with lots of photos so the length of them make up for their lack of a daily read.

What's Good:
The quality of information for one. This is somebody who is dealing with these matters on an almost daily basis and takes the time to write up their findings.

What's Bad:
Lack of response. As I said, there are few comments. However when there have been comments, especially with questions, there have been no follow ups or replies. This has a tendency to drive people away or at least leave people wondering if their comments have actually been seen in the first place.

Oh yes, they have an article all about growing on an allotment. Now perhaps they could do one about clearing said allotment? Oh wait. They did.
