All our seedlings are outside now. Our Sunflowers are in the ground and doing REALLY well. Onions are growing well Lettuce too. Everything is doing well actually. We've had to light the fire though as its chilly down here.

Hi all, Does anyone know what age Italian and Japanese quail start laying? We were told at 6 weeks they start to lay. Is this true?

Ive finalised my design for the egg boxes. I shall be making the final HARD mould at the weekend and also making a few boxes to test it.

My final mould/s will be of wooden construction to allow for 'In mould drying'. Hoping to have something ready by next week. Dont be envious, my knowledge and 'skill lol'...

Ive finally managed to get some good info regarding homemade soalr panel and heat exchangers. Im going to speak to our head fabricator tmw re-HE. Hopefully during the summer I can start the construction of the set-up and can update this thread as I go. Eyes peeled people. This will be cheap to make ...
