GeorgeSalt, I thought I have given clues what I am looking for, but maybe not clear enough. I love Home Farmer but now that I have been subscribed two years its kinda repeating itself, unfortunately... but I like the layout and the readability of the articles. Nicely written and with a sense of humo...

I am not looking for permaculture..... thank you.

I have been subscribed to Home Farmer for 2 years now and its time to renew in three months. I like it a lot but I'd like to see something different for a change. What magazines would you recommend to me, taking into account I live in netherlands. I don't have animals, and a mini (2,5 by 2,5 metres ...

yes you can! if it hasn't gone fluffy or weird colored (mold)....no problem.
any cooked food.

hi, there, dad!! congrats with the new earthling.......may he grow well and wise.....(no doubt with such parents!)

darn, I live in the wrong country.......
but how about using helpx or wwoof, to get things going and get at least help. I know its not what you are looking for but the amount of work is also something to take into account.
hugs and strength to you!

there are sources on the interwebs how to make such an system yourself...most of the times its two buckets/ bins fitting into each o ther, one with holes in the bottom and a fitted tap or a cork, with a snap-on lid.

yes I let it mature in the bin for at least two weeks or until it smells fermented.
then I digged it in. so just UNDER....not in a trench.
maybe that was the problem?

diggin bokashi in.....did someone do this, as it came straight out of the bucket, into the veg patch? I did....and after few weeks a white cast (fluffy mould) grew on top of the soil. I hand dug it over all again. now I have put the second bucket contents into the compost bin. third one will go in t...

can someone please tell me how and when to prune my loganberry.
its a young plant, planted this ermmm august, I think.
thanks :)

Also here in netherlands, I ordered my Bokashi set two weeks back and the first bucket is now half full already. It feels SO GOOD to finally be able to do this, instead of turning all organic matters in the green bin that is picked up fortnightly. So far no smells at all. I do also have a compost bi...

I have found it very interesting to follow this series and see who won! Definitely all the contestants had their shortcomings, and well, you can always learn from mistakes you make. Hope Ray and Jane will be smart enough to come up with some solutions, and its good they will receive one year support...

hmmm I am not too happy with how it tastes.........when warm it tasted much better (when testing) than it does now.

excuse me.
it was mango and LIME jam. 4 limes and 900 grams mango, 900 grams sugar.

in the april issue of home farmer magazine is a recipe for mango jam and chutney. I made both. the mango jam has a problem and I don't understand what is wrong. I did everything as the recipe said, cooked till mango was soft, and then started testing for set. even after half hour fiercely boiling st...
