Re: Advice for a hopeless gardener
Prepper fail: Admonish me for my stupidity !!! I kept loads of packets of seeds in a bucket in the garage. It was almost full. Mostly in their original packets, some of which were opened.

Re: Cheap solar battery charging
Are there step by step instructions for posting and replying to posts anywhere. I'm not familiar with how fora work. This one uses BBCode, of which there are a few syntax variants. Hitting the " Quote button does most of the work for you. Most 'tag' features are aided by the editor buttons, bu...

Re: Pallet Wood quality Question
If it was my shed I'd remove the roof, unscrew each of the wall frames from the floor and then each other. Then repair and rebuild (with upgrades)..... But then I'd be working on my own with just my dodgy back for company. Jenny, take loads of pics. I'd love to see how MrJ does this trick OK. We ha...

Re: Pallet Wood quality Question
