Have you got neighbours who would object to pigs?

They can clear a patch in no time at all including a rough digging over

Peer pressure is a very strong force and it seems little can be done to overcome it. My son was a really good, confident rider. Showjumping at an early age and thoroughly enjoying his ponies . Until he reached the age of 12/13 when his schoolfrinds started taking the p*** because he was out riding r...

If you add a tablespoon of tomato juice to your lady dog's food every day it stops the dead patches of grass. I once heard it as a snippit on the radio and tried it. I don't know why it works but it does seem to. Never had a male dog so I can't comment on the effect on him. It was traditional in the...

This is absolutely NOT a personal attack on you Clara :lol: But I do agree with a lot that Fee said. There has to be compromise. If we cut out everything from our lives that might be bad for us then there would not be a lot left. I smoke, I drink and at times I eat food that is bad for me - I have e...

There is nothing worse than gutter debris in your butt

If the neutraliser is salt, it wouldn't do a septic tank much good. I have been told that the salt in dishwasher tablets can be harmful to the bacteria in a tank.

I do recall someone - Alan Titchmarsh?? saying "if its big and black, put it back" as the huge fat black ones eat all the smaller ones that do the damage. Don't really have much faith in it

It looks to have floorboards

Do they go under the raised beds or just between them?

It has certainly given me something to aim for when I get my tunnel back up and in service again.

It happened Monday morning on NEEPS.
there were over a hundred people on line at 4am.
But I have just checked the site to get the latest figures and

" Most users ever online was 395 on Tue Jun 26, 2007 9:49 pm "
from a site with about 350 members that is not bad going
