As the years go by,my tastes develop/change,as my taste buds go the same way as my liver/sanity/mobility,etc.Once I wouldn't consider omitting FRESH sage,and a splash of rough cider.Then crumbled black pudding.Then cooked bacon,and so on.Nowadays,in decrepitude,it's fresh chillies and some chirizo.(...

I've got a new job playing triangle in a reggae band...





I just stand at the back and ting..........

(coat).

Don't entirely go along with that( mostly though).I plant all my first earlies in buckets,then follow them with the same again.( In fact 90% of our spuds are earlies.)If you 've stuck them in the ground,lime a bit, then follow up with Purple Sprouting ,if you've not sown any, buy plants from the mar...

I moved away from my roots,as there was no future there for my lately aquired children (see previous rant).I would encourage anyone that sees the prospect of a long sought after holding in an unfamiliar place coming to fruition,to take a sideways step and be sure you take in all the considerations t...

I can tell you this, if land is cheap then there is something wrong with it, good land in Wales can cost a lot of money, if populations are small like we have here, work is harder to find and so is a market for your produce, just a couple of things to consider although you probably have already. Si...

Another strange occurrence: Last night as I closed the laptop Her indoors asked me what I'd been looking at, ''Oh just a few cheap flights'' ,I reply. Suddenly she gives me a massive hug,tells me she loves me,and drags me off to the bedroom!! I was stunned,...I never realised she was even interested...

Visit Tregothnan.It's a great place.

Cammellia grow well in the UK but sinensis is a slow grower which needs special conditions to grow decent buds,these exist at foresaid extra lovely Cornish place,so have a great trip,and get advice all at the same time..BWs

Err, I think some people have thought of that, bedrooms, wardrobes, attics, but maybe not growing cauliflowers. :lol:[/quote] So that West Mercia Police helicopter that circles around every few weeks is checking for illicit growing of PSB huh?.........no prob for me,the bloody pigeons keep destroyin...

I've been looking at the Oz site you mention,it's all good motivating stuff,and your results speak for themselves. I've got hold of a second hand lean to,which will go on the side of the garage in the coming winter, and I'll rig up some extra lighting.Cos it aint the biggest GH the world's ever seen...

2nd hand rads are dead cheap/free.The new pipe system can run hot water through plastic pipe with snap on fittings..ie. no more pissing about with copper and solder.You'll need a sparkie to wire in the (cheap) pump,but that shouldn't be a big deal.Google about,there's loads of stuff,if your not too ...

Surprisingly,Franchi (seeds of italy) don't do it.Plenty available over the pond,though.Nice stuff,innit?

Simple answer,Yes. Get a 'bloke' to checkout it's serviced,etc (or better still do it yourself).Deduce the year it was made(lots of websites will help),this will help you find the output in btus.They made the royal for decades but I think the output varied. Anyhow,if you stick a small electric pump ...

nice one John.

thanks mate.

I shall be away for a couple of days so it will give you plenty of time to make a big list. :iconbiggrin:[/quote] I wasn't THAT hammered,!What I meant was what d'you use as a nutrient! Also what site did you peruse in oz,or is that a secret.? What do you think is a max/min size for the set up? Hope ...
