i have 1, soon to be 2, spoilt house bunny. are the droppings she produces useful in compost, or can it be added direct to the soil? or as a mulch? she does her wees in a litter tray, i use wood pellets in them, is the wee soaked wood pellets (and hay that i put there for her to eat while she does h...

Hello everyone, Last year my mum and i were given a half plot a bit late in the season, and add to that the fact i was heavily pregnant, the allotment didnt get used to its full potential. this year we want to get more veg from it, but are hopeless beginners who dont know where to start! do you make...

thanks for the banana tip...but i am one of those women who have a short and intense labour (sorry girls, i be you hate me for that!) and am having my 2nd homebirth, my main concern is to slow it down a tad so that the midwife can get here on time!

I feel disheartened, nothing has happened to my newly aquired allotment since we got it last month. We put raised beds in but compost to fill them has turned into such an issue. We want to get it from a green waste recycling plant 25 miles away where it is sold cheaply and loose, so we need to colle...

I have a confession - I am a nappy advisor who uses disposables at night :oops: :oops: This is because since my lo was 9 months old he has slept on his front with his knees under and his bum in the air and in a cloth nappy the wee would just run up out the top of the nappy :( But, it is possible to ...

Hi, I can help with your questions as I am a nappy advisor! There are 2 types of liners; flushable and washable. Flushable liners are designed to be flushed away and washable ones are washed with the nappies. Washable liners are made of fleece and are best for younger babies who are still in the run...

I am making the ciderish from the website and it needs to be left to fermentfor 2 weeks, which is up tomorrow. We are going away last minute tomorrow till wednesday and i wont have time to deal with the cider, can i leave it another week?

Child free weddings seem more common recently,but I dont understand that at all! I think of weddings as a family affair, and children are what make a family IMO. Each to their own I suspose, but if I was in a similar situation I would not go if my kids were not welcome because I have not yet spent a...

I cant believe your doc told you this, and I am inclined to agree with clara. I have been told that breastmilk is so easily digested that it is gone after 90mins. Plus night feeds help to boost your supply (something to do with hormones that are produced at night but cant remember right now). I am v...

Thankyou for the kind swap offers but I have already been sent so many seeds that I have barely had to buy any :)
