    @tuikowhai34 makes a good point about a stream. How do you intend to water the plants?
    I don't think he is genuine probably whiling away a very wet day 😄

    If it's wet and you are inside there - it is blooming hot and we are inside here!!  (If it makes you feel any better) - oh for a spot of rain!
    A good hoeing is worth two waterings.

  • This has got to be a wind up. 

    Nevertheless @BenCotto reminded me of something I meant to do a while ago. Does anyone know how to get roughly reliable current pricing for agricultural land and woodland? Google throws up articles from a few years ago with wildly varying prices, I'm hoping there's some way to get ballpark pricing like zoopla but for land instead of houses...

    It depends on the land and its registered use ... then what type of land it is, fenland, clay, heath l,owland, hilly, arable, grazing land... and of course where it's situated (is it likely to come up for possible building in the future) etc etc etc
    Your best bet is to consult a local Chartered Survey/Agricultural Valuer.

    I reckoned early on it was probably a wind up but I like to give people the benefit of the doubt, as long as I'm not spending ages on a post. 
    The silence is deafening  ;)

    If it is a wind up, it's really not funny. Many people have spent a lot of time giving excellent, in depth information, so an apology would be nice if this isn't genuine. 
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    We did have a series of posts from someone last year who'd inherited a large piece of land with a house that they were doing up ... we gave lots of advice ........... never heard any more from them either ..............

    Show some compassion folks, the OP must be lonely to want to start a debate on a gardening site. 
    OH said right from the opening post it’s a wind up.

    My garden is 7.6 acres. About 3 or 4 is woodland, so doesn't need much input, and a lake of 0.8 acre, no input there. so barely 3 acres for me to deal with, and it takes me pretty much all my time . IMHO nobody can maintain 10 acres of cultivated land alone.

    Sounds like my dream place @Hostafan1. Lots of gardening and a lake for evening fishing. Perfect!
