Yes I've got tarps and the like. Keeping a few tiling laths or battens at hand can also be a good idea to firmly fix down a tarp. Ok so it will damage the tarp to nail them down but treat them as consumables . I also keep a stock of tiles and felt for a proper repair and have a couple of tins of stu...

Not actually prepping but I've used drainage pipes too as an attempt to grow really large carrots. Pipe is filled with fine sieved soil with watering holes cut all the way down and the theory is to progressively water at a lower point to encourage the carrot downward to grow into a monster length . ...

I've just put up two sections of guttering in a greenhouse. No not been at the home brew , it's a space saving idea. Clearing a site recently I came across a length of deep plastic guttering which I've cut in half , cut some timber to block of the ends and fixed them on the inside of the greenhouse ...

I think the only way to make anything completely insect proof would be to ask Jean Luc for one of his force fields , they'll always seem to find a way in although happily not all are bad. If you take the right safety precautions and take it double bagged to a registered disposal point there's nothin...

grenfell, I think that clearing up the garden *is* prepping in the way that maintenance itself is a prep. Food security: how could you grow things in there safely if you're coming across glass all the time? And the security of your children? You want them out in the back garden to play sometimes, a...

Another thought which occurred to me the other night. As I said the shed is in the more obscure part of the garden , partly surrounded by fences, trellis and trees and as such doesn't really get direct sun so might not be subject to quick changes in temperature. Not really prepping related but an up...

I did once buy a metal shed as a quick fix when we first moved in the house and I too found condensation was a problem but put a layer of insulation on top covered with corrugated bitumen sheeting and it's been bone dry for the last decade. Grenf, could you possibly give us a bit more detail on tha...

you get more fuel in a litre on a warm day, so buy then if possible. Unless I'm missing something, this should be the other way round - a substance is more dense when it's cold (i.e. expands when it gets warm), so there's more fuel in your litre when it's cold. That would sound right but to be hone...

We have a pretty decent supplier close to us , good prices and can be made to whatever shape and size you want. We brought another recently for the house we rent out and as usual my wife went in with a wad of cash and wouldn't hand it over 'till we got a chunk knocked off. She's done that with every...

I won't add anything to the weapon or otherwise debate but rather I'll mention a couple of things I've come across. One was a customer who had their house entered by the very simple act of the burglar ( technically I think they should be termed housebreaker as the offence occurred during daylight) w...
