A button on a key ring, which you can hang up on your key hook, which sets off an alarm on your keys.
Definitely and can I add a device that sets off an alarm on your trowel so you can find it in the garden?Tata are reportedly developing a solar paint. If they succeed then your whole house could, literally, generate electricity.demi wrote:

"It's illegal, but if you were to try spraying dilute coffee on the ground around your plants you would find that it deters slugs. But it's illegal."
So, of course, we won't try doing that then will we!

No I won't use a smiley because I've decided to turn into Boboff, as he's turned all nice all of a sudden. Grumble grumble.
O.K. I'll bite. Why is this illegal?Thomzo wrote:Interesting article in this month's edition of The Garden. It went something like this:baldybloke wrote:How about the following:

Thank you for explaining that. I do think our "democratic government" is working very hard to try to catch us up to the "rest of the world" in over-regulation and ridicules restrictions/statutes though.Thomzo wrote:Mustardseedmama - you are, fortunately, not governed by the EU. Here, anything used in the garden as a pesticide or fertiliser has to be 'approved'. You can still put coffee grounds on the compost heap, thank goodness.

I think you are right, although I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.niknik wrote:cant see why it would be illegal......., amybe isnt " approved" but that really refers to anytghing thats to be made for sale!
That's my understanding... But people do love to imagine that they're bravely standing up for freedom and sticking it to The Man when the truth is that nobody's interested in what they're doing, and it's all perfectly legal even if they were.

I understood that individual people can more or less do what they like as long as they don't use poisons or pollute. I think it's more a case that EU companies can't sell products containing banned substances and professional gardeners can't recommend using them.
It's the same (or at least, used to be) with the dreaded Health & Safety. If you're employed you must wear all the protective gear but if you're self employed or an individual you can use your own initiative as to what's necessary.
But I'm probably wrong ... see disclaimer below.

remote control ( preferrably with as mentioned above an anti-loss alarm) to turn the volume down or up ( rare) on the kids!) and preferrably also with an option to be ableable to teleport them a long way away!
