Re: I'm Back Too - and I have LAND!!!

Re: Cleaning a polytunnel ?
I have seen some advertised that have a "Extension Lance" but it does not say how long. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Greenkey-Garden-Pressure-Sprayer-Extension/dp/B00BK2AIGS or this one, then make the brass section much much longer. http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00X2LBV70?psc=1 It is still a big ...

Re: Cleaning a polytunnel ?
I use http://algonorganics.co.uk/ and it is great.
I use a pump action spray bottle to apply it, I use it for pollytunnels, the old caravan, the path and anywhere else that goes green!

Re: Dig my own clay

I decided the best option was to jump a version from 3.0.12/14 versions to the very new 3. 1 .15 (note the one in the middle is quite major!) The look and feel of the site, ...
