Everyone who lives on a croft has an area of the moorland that 'belongs' to the croft and that's where that family would cut their annual supply of peat. I'll link to a couple of previous posts ...<br /><br />This one is for the turfing/cutting stage: http://www.homeschoolonthecroft.com/2010/07/peat-cutting.html<br /><br />And this one is for the later stage of taking them home:<br /><br />http://www.homeschoolonthecroft.com/2012/07/taking-home-peats.htmlHomeschool on the Crofthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03400742529025230433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5439971908848990993.post-55263658830091327852013-11-13T15:59:34.504+00:002013-11-13T15:59:34.504+00:00Thank you, once again, Dianna.

Do you ...I have a question for you about the peat. Do you cut peat off of your own property, or do you have to go to places where they sell peat? This is probably a silly question!! Also, where do you store the peat? Do you stack it outside your house like we would stack firewood? Inquiring minds want to know!

Also, I love me a good fire and After Eights! (I was thinking of mentioning to the husband that I'd like to see those in my stocking this year.)
