Re: Truly Organic?

Have you tried Holland and Barret shops? (the seed & pills places), my local here in Lincs stock a large range of organic stuff for skin care to personal cleaning stuff. Even organic coke from Good Earth range.

Now I don't have to travel to Lincoln to use Waitrose any more :thumbright:

Re: Anyone else jam making at the moment?

Spent a hour on Saturday picking a large tube full of blackberrys (mum gave up half way through lol) But got them all washed 800grams of it if I remember right. Processed them through the pip remover on the kicthenaid mixer (like a seive with a worm screw through the middle - fantastic bit of kit) -...

Storing Veggies - Clamp [Fridge?]

Hi all,

I have an old fridge that has retired today and just wondering - has anyone used a old fridge on its back as a clamp (filled with straw or sand)

As I don't want to get rid of it if its going to be useful for a clamp in the later months ahead

And so it starts.......

Well I had exbatteries for a while now, and the recent price hike from the BHWT has put me off them for good now as they expecting £3-4 for each exbattery hen + donations! (dunno weather they took offence to the £10 I gave them for the last lot) So after some searching I found a family with a small ...
