My husband would be shipping me off to Dublin post haste, he started looking nervous when I started talking about planting stinging nettles here so I could harvest them for fiber!

Go for it! Nettle fibres go back to the Bronze Age, and earlier!

Get some clay, make it into a long sausage, make it into a ring, if it doesn’t break, you have pottery clay, off you go!pic.twitter.com/kxAMCPwr5M

Excellent!! We're on various varieties of clay sub soil here. I've got a moderate pile that I can test just from digging a pit oven recently.

Pit oven! Experiments ongoing as far as getting a good fire going and keeping it lit but I think I'm going to try roasting a small chicken or small lamb shoulder in it soon.pic.twitter.com/5oDphFjupx

one thing that Aidan showed us on our tour of the experimental arky site was that if you turned a pot upside down over a fire, you could cook bread on it, and it explains charcoal marks on the rims of pots (if I am recalling that correctly)?

Kind of. Absence of sooting at rim might indicate inversion for use as”Dutch oven”
