Re: Why I Prep: Hope.... Not The Apocalypse!
Hiya Oakheart. This is what prepping is really about, overcoming 'bumps in the road'*. Lets face it, anyone can loose their job/home/health/family, theres not many of us who've had to deal with zombies ( 3 am city centre on payday weekends not withstanding). Keep on keeping on. * I'll admit your bum...

Re: Waste Management
Burn the rest and bury the ashes. And even the end results of burning wasn't always just thrown out. Wood ash was used in the garden or as a component of lime ash floors , coal ash , at least in the midlands , was often used as a basis for paths. 1948 London Olympics, the cinders for the running tr...

Re: Waste Management
Arzosah: Our local council collect food waste that includes tea bags. I suppose we should deal with this issue as they did early last century. Re-use what can be re-used. Clean and recycle (or store until it can be recycled) what we can. Compost anything possible Burn the rest and bury the ashes. Th...

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.....

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

Veg grown ? Without doubt :lol: They probably have silly rules about bonfires, keeping chickens, buil...
