If you have solar panels do you need to get a seperate generator. I dont know anything much about either so please excuse my ignorance.

Have a nice warm bath with a few pinchs of sea salt put into it (about three pinches should be enough). Apparently the salt helps the muscles relax. Iv had a twisted quad muscle for some time, it helps a great deal. Also the old RICE - rest, incapacitate, compress and exercise always works. The comp...

I have heard if your going to use teabags for plants then its better not to have milk on them, but I havent tested that. Tea leaves can be scattered round plant pots like a furtilser, also cold tea (without milk) can be put on them as well (NB old fish tank water is good too). Tea bags can be used f...

Iv seen them used for growing potatoes, just stack them up like you would earth - I think it was Gardeners World or something like it.

Yes I do believe it was!

It convinced me to start growing my own.

I better start off with Cress, Im not sure I could kill that too easily.

Its all about how much fossil fuel is used on an UK farm and how by 2013 they estimate that these forms of fuel will be getting low. They recommend ways to farm not using the fuels and ...

Quinoa is good and you can get it from most health food shops and Asda. You boil one cup or mug of water until it boils, then add about 3/4 a cup of flaked Quinoa and stur it until it becomes like a thick porridge. (see packet for details or the Quinoa website for loads of recipes). I think its Glut...

Iv been five stone over weight and one stone under so heres my tips: Make a committed decision to become fit and healthy (have leverage) and know what that means (source Anthony Robbins).
