Everyone seems to be getting seeds and i wanna join in the fun!!

Keep me posted on your trees guys!

We have rain....lots and lots and lots of lovely rain!! In fact, we have more than enough...way more than i need...Does anyone want some :) My water butt is full to overflowing again, so if we could have rain like this every couple of weeks, i'd be well impressed. And, i think i've finally convinced...

Thanks tiger, i was just going by what i was told...and i like to err on the side of caution.

Thanks for the clarity with the tea tree there!

cool, lets hope they forget mine for a while then!! the one i've bought comes with a kitchen caddy and compostable bin liners too, so all in all its a bargain!! Can't wait to get it installed and get rid of the old compost bins - they're the cylindrical ones with no air vents that you have to lift o...

There's a couple on ebay at the moment for about £6...be quick, but only bid on one...i want the other one!!!

Don't use tea tree directly on him...or sprayed into the air that he's likely to walk in, it is EXTREMELY TOXIC to dogs!! Get some ceramic ring thingies that you put over lightbulbs, affix to said lights, drip in some EO (not tea tree - even the vapours can be fatal) and there you go! Freshly smelli...

There's a book called 'Clean house, Clean Planet' can' t remember who its by, but i have a copy, and it has some excellent recipes in it. Some of them tend to repeat themselves, but there are some class cleaners in there. I'll dig it out and post a couple at some point...its at the bottom of the stu...

I don't know if anyone else has posted this yet, but my local council(essex) are offering compost bins at stupidly cheap prices (including kitchen Caddies and...i think....bin liners) and they deliver...all in the cost. There is: The convertabin: 220ltr for £4 The Compost Converter (330ltr) for Ã...

That's one that i googled. I'll try to capture one of the things living in my water butt in a jar or something tomorrow and take a pic.

right, i think is is one of these: Yellow Slug Limax flavus A large, yellowish slug, the body of which is marbled and mottled with olive-brown. Tentacles blue and mantle with thumbprint-like pattern of concentric rings typical of all Limax species. Common and widespread in England, Wales and Ireland...

I fished them all out earlier and put them on the compost... I'm sure there'll be nother one there tomorrow though, i'll try to take a pic of it then. They're like giant slugs, but they're yellowy-greeny and they swim like the worms from the X files... I think you're right about the stuff at the bot...

Do you have some tomato seeds left?

I'll swap them for some melon and butternut squash seeds - can't guarantee they'll grow, but i've had some plants out of their fruit-mates.

In my fridge, i have an aubergine that needs to go in the compost.

However, since i have been reading this forum today, i want to harvest the seeds from it first to try and grow some.

Does anyone know the best way to do it/have some good tips for me?

Ta very muchly x
