It is probably the "food waste" that is worrying your committee. Make sure none of it is cooked and try to bury the rest. And put a couple of poison boxes near the heaps where the committee can see them. It is up to you if you actually fill them with poison. We have 2 boxes permanently in ...

I have just laid in ten kilos at this price for this season's jam making & bottling season. I use foraged/homegrown/swapped fruit so the sugar is the main cost involved. (My son can eat 2 jars of peanut butter a week and Sainsburys now sells this in traditional jam jars with metal lids so I alwa...

Exactly how big is your compost heap Jansman? i am getting visions now of a huge mountain of compost with spuds and courgettes coming out of it like quatermass.

I relocated my compost heap for 6 months last year to a bit of garden that hasn't been doing well. Nothing would grow there. I suspected chalky soil plus a number of Mr GB's bonfires had killed the microbiome and left the alkalinity way too high. I am hoping the temporary compost heap will have give...

Potatoes grow better in my compost heap than anywhere else. I have tried courgettes there but the snails always destroy them.

I just took a look at all the bigger supermarkets online prices. Jeepers! All of them are now over a quid for a single kilo and only Sainsbury's still has a sub-£5 price for the 5 kilo. (I suspect that wont be there much longer) My jam making this year has just become a more expensive hobby. I do re...

Agree 100% about the "thinking they will win" thing. Mr GB sometimes needs a walking stick and has noticed that the "trouble" types look at him quite differently with/without the stick. He has had 2 bouts of being approached/surrounded when using the stick. Threatening looking gr...

I tend not to discuss my "stuff" but have become known as the person who is likely to have "X" in her handbag. I could see covid coming at us and tried to talk to my boss about pandemic panning as a previous team had to do that for swine flu but he could not see the need until it...

I also use Amazon subscription to top up my prepes - but have to watch out as it is easy to get too much if you dont check before the net sub arrives. I am not organised enough for spreadsheets & neither is my family. I use FIFO and mark anything in need of using up soon with a red dot label for...

Jansman: How long did it take to get your Daubentons up to "eating" size? I have just planted a rooted cutting of Daubenton's Panache. It is just under a foot tall at the moment and settling in happily outside despite the odd hailstorm.
