Is it legal for a company to put in its contract that they aren't obliged to increase the salary?

Good news then - that's a relief!

I read of a method once that had you put a plastic colander-type of container in the ground, poured something on, then it would compost in the ground and seep out directly into it.

I accidentally strimmed the leaves off my strawberry plants the other day. Will they still fruit next year?

I'd like to pull up the carpets of the stairs and upstairs and paint the floorboards. They are normal functional ones so nothing special. Nails, obvious, possibly gaps between, etc. Can they be sanded with one of those machines and be made suitable as the seen flooring? What would that entail and wh...

Has anyone tried a strawberry called Madame [somethingorother] Schindler?

Aprons.

More repeats? I'd like to see new episodes of Endeavour - it would make a change from the usual
