Hi

No ideas about the cooker but liking avoiding busyness and bristol, well any towns at all if possible.

Welcome.

This Chap had been doing it for ages and the idea of the trees barrier protecting was the one put across by the interviewer, Seemed like a pretty good method.. He was certainly Chirpy enough!

i heard a great thing on farming today about a chap who farms with a row of trees between each row of spuds (more than our allotments etc) and coppiced them for fuel and found that whenever he suffered from blight each consecutive row was shielded by the trees in between.. maybe a smaller version co...

white vinegar in a plant spray will do the job.. great for all cleaning and gets rid of the smell too.. although if you have a sugar puff wee it may be a good thing.. if only to discourage eating processed cereal badness!! :P

I meant descale the washing machine... Freezer is not a good thing to mix up with a washing machine.. doh!

With soapnuts we always recommend a dash of soda crystals or bicarb to get maximum freshness and using vinegar in the rinse aid does wonders. not onl for the freshness and cleaning side but it also helps descale the freezer. We (like Thomzo) suffer with hard water but find that even the small boys n...

Probably a bit late from the posts but when it comes to insulation in the loft space, you will be eligible for a grant, probably able to get it for free in fact. providing you have less than 60mm of existing insulation. I spend most of my days doing insulaton survey and it is most gratifying giving ...

Hi there, My little lad is 6months old today and I have seen a great selection of various baby clothes for the small fella. Largely in pastel, often making him look like a gay sailor. I think that darker colours can be perfectly pleasant, without having to go to the goth extreme. My favorite clothin...

I add mine quite liberally but that said I avoid weeing in the house.. saves water and if you think your bin is a little moist just pee direct on the beds, avoid peeing straight on the plants obviously or concentrating on the same spot and all should be well.. by the way, you have a beautiful way wi...

Yeah, I can certainly agree that I miss that just washed smell. I found coconut oil was the best remedy. A few drops in the fabric conditioner tray did wonders. It is almost certianly deadly however waking up and finding all you bedclothes smelling so tasty. Often missing a pillow :D Mint was quite ...

Will they... bugger that... I love my mushrooms, didn't know that hedgehogs did too..

That said not many people grow them... mushrooms that is

Hello everybody. Good to join here and see lots of eco types sharing and gassing, just what the doctor ordered. I hope to find lots of lovely new things that I can try and help anybody else where I can too. I run a business called Save Some Green, which aims to help people live a greener lifestyle. ...

fair point, wasn't thinking about that, although you dont need to rinse much with soapnuts either, they don't foam up as much as manufactured powders so less to get rid of.

I clearly love my sopanuts don't I... lol

yeah always a fair mix of opinion, none will save water though. I just go with the lowest level of manufacturing, closet link to natural that way, seems a reasonable line to walk down to me... none will work as well as manufactured cleaners however as they have added bleaches etc... but you can add ...
