Re: Water just gone off, and what about the toilet?
I haven't given this a lot of thought, I must admit. I go camping but don't own a chemical toilet. It is something I mean to purchase for emergency situations short term.

Re: Its that time of year again : winter preps
Bag them up, water them from time to time, poke a few holes in the bag and loose tie the tops and in a year or two you will have leaf mould to put down as a mulch if you grow stuff.And could I find a use for those fallen leaves?
