Re: Value Range foods compared

Stagg is our go to tinned chilli..... Well, my go to as Herself doesn't do even that level of spice. They do (or at least did) a range ( I've not had the 'Dynamite hot', but the Classic and the TexMex are as spicey as I go for..... You might find them a bit wimpy though) and they're all good. The sh...

Re: Value Range foods compared

Being totally frugal, You could get better value for money buying Stockwell beans at 28p and a few tins of Ye olde oak sausages at up to 79p at B&M . Those sausages have more flavour, though they are MRM chicken and pork. Although its stocking two different tins, I'd be more likely to do that.....

Re: Advice for a hopeless gardener

Obey the letter of the rules and nobody can complain.
Feel free to interpret those rules as you see fit though....... You're a Prepper, contrary by definition ;)

Re: Advice for a hopeless gardener

My Grandfather (a man who was still running three allotments in his 70's) had no permanent paths at all in any of his plots, but that site had been laid out with four feet of common-ground between plots and eight foot headlands (large enough to back a 'muck cart' down them). These were original MoF ...

Re: Advice for a hopeless gardener

Got me thinking silly and irreverent, even macabre thoughts. If a keen allotmenteer is buried, should their family grow veggies on the grave in homage? I wonder what the council would do. :) Sorry. Veg grown ? Without doubt :lol: They probably have silly rules about bonfires, keeping chickens, buil...

Re: Pallet Wood quality Question

Home repairs, Prepsted maintenance, re/up-cycling and making something out of nothing are part of the basic skillset.

Survivalists stock bullets, Preppers stock nails.

Re: Pallet Wood quality Question

If it was my shed I'd remove the roof, unscrew each of the wall frames from the floor and then each other. Then repair and rebuild (with upgrades)..... But then I'd be working on my own with just my dodgy back for company.

Re: Pallet Wood quality Question

You've got to remember that not all pallets are created equal. The best ones for 'project' wood are the single use ones used for industrial deliveries (at work we call them materials pallets). These tend to have a 'fresh wood' colour (and sometimes smell) to them and can be of non-standard sizes as ...
