Our neighbour Chris is the kind of man you can listen to all day, he is hugely knowledgeable about plants and the environment, he used to be a fisherman mainly for Salmon which he smoked, slowly, in the old fashioned way, many say it was the best in Ireland. He was talking about his time as fisherman and mentioned that all the gear he was using then was made from natural products and therefore was biodegradable not like today when most of it is oil/plastic based like my friend the yellow net float, which would have been made from cork in those days…
