Homeade Bread
I'm going to have a go. I have a breadmaker somewhere in a dusty corner but its a pain to clean so I'd rather do it without. I was hoping if its fairly easy I could make some every week. Any recommendations or tips for making it easy or more tasty?

Re: Compostable Food Bags
It seems every authority has a different way of doing things, we get a small plastic caddy for this but no bags.

Re: Compostable Food Bags
our food waste caddies take everything from bones to veg peelings Remember not everyone has a compost heap, also when we have rat visitors I stop putting veg on the compost heap for a while. It all goes to a local Bio-converter place where it gets converted to energy & the waste liquid used as ferti...

Compostable Food Bags
Here's a money saver for anyone who's rubbish collection includes a food waste caddy. Ours takes 20ltr bags & the compostable ones at supermarkets are around £2.60 for 10! Literally throwing money away. I cant find them much cheaper online either. However in Aldi & Co-op they have carrier bags made ...

Re: Blind Giblet & friends at Chickenopolous
Sad news at Chickenoplolous {cry} Bill is dying. He never fully recovered from his illness, his crow was still a croak & running around made him breathless & his comb purple, but he seemed happy & did all the other chickeny things. This morning I found him collapsed on the floor of their coop. He's ...

Re: Have we lost our connection with food?
We were discussing this (amongst other things) with our 20-something sons & their girlfriends. Our post ww2 parents grew their own veg & knew how to store it, ate seasonally, made all meals from scratch, made their own bread/jam/icecream etc, reared chickens/ducks for eating & eggs, made clothes etc...

Re: A question about tomatoes

Re: A question about tomatoes
Thats interesting. I think ventilation might be important, I did squeeze more tomatoe plants than usual in the patch last year, perhaps they were too crowded.

A question about tomatoes
Last year I grew lots of lovely tomatoe plants, (blight resistant varieties) in a sunny sheltered spot outdoors. They did really well - then all got blight. I wondered if I could still plant tomatoes there, or nearby, but in containers rather than in the ground. Or would the blight spores be everywh...

Re: Eating plants - a balanced & varied diet.
aha I beat you! I just made a list & got to 33. I do get some out of season fruit like strawberries & blueberries most weeks, against my principles but little toddler Alice is a picky eater atm so I tend to indulge her when its something healthy.
