Re: Kale
Have saved a corner of the microscopic back garden for growing veg. And what I think would be most use to us is Kale. In Scotland, kale is big :mrgreen: - my granny called her entire back garden the kailyaird, although I'm sure there would've been loads of veg init, not just kale. So I'm looking fo...

Re: Advice for a hopeless gardener
Worst case: You plant them and nothing happens. True. Out they all go as soon as it stops pi55ing down :( Slightly off topic, visited Mum in Law's grave today ( anniversary ). Grave is swathed with bl00dy mare's tail. I won't be digging out the roots! :shock: I think WD40 on those!. So I expect to ...

Re: Advice for a hopeless gardener
A few questions about Spud seeds. It's going to be a mixture this year..... Some 'volunteer' spuds that i dug out when i prepared the ground. They're going back in. Some non-controversial bought seed spuds, well chitted. Some BIG spuds that self chitted in the veg rack. Those are getting sliced up....

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 11
I’ve done our online grocery shopping. Got an offer from Ocado and am rather impressed. As my illness makes me pretty much housebound now I tend to deal with it. So I am getting good deals as I have time. Every penny helps,especially as my income has dropped somewhat. Anyhow,that’s worked out well. ...

Re: Pallet Wood quality Question
Just a caveat , this does assume the bases of the shed sides are intact and not rotted . They can also be replaced insitu but it's a fiddly job. The bottom of the shed sides ARE rotten! The frame and some of the bottom panels. So, raising the sides with wedges won't work. Hence the idea of stilts w...

Re: 24hr Spot prices Live
A good example. It’s made my investment decision good there. Thanks P. It's getting close for a "cash out" and wait for the the prices to fall, or just sit back and watch. Either way hindsight is 20/20 and I never bought enough back then :lol: :lol: :lol: That’s a truth! :D I’ve told my w...

Re: Prepper -'lite' or full on survivalist
Perhaps lower to medium "prepper lite" here. I have about 3 months' food, 5 weeks water (in the cold water tank and hot water cylinder), water filtration, a bit of 12v solar power, very basic first aid and sundry items. My prepping is aimed at intermittent food shortages, water supply and...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 11
This week I am planting greenhouse tomatoes,my spaghetti squash is getting there nicely,and all the perennial veg and fruit is growing nicely. So that’s good. As mentioned,our walk in pantry is now well stocked as needed. Freezers too. In both cases,swift meals are the most appropriate right now, an...
