Thanks Green Aura I enjoyed putting it together. I learnt a lot too. I'd recommend putting an e-book together if you have an interest in any topics. It can be a bit daunting at first with the pdf's, epubs etc, but it's well worth the effort. If I can be of assistance to anyone starting on the e-book...

"What an enjoyable e-book that Ian Gomersall has written! If you have any interest in growing your own, The Raised Vegetable Garden Handbook is a book you'll love. It is definitely the most complete book that I have seen on vegetable gardening, and especially, the raised vegetable garden. The ...

Hi I started with raised beds a few years ago and had such a success with them that now the whole garden is full of them. The need not be expensive as you can make them out of local materials. I have been so impressed wit the crops that I decided to write a book on the subject. 'Raised Vegetable Bed...

Well, it's been two years since I set the Organics.ie website up.... It was a bit of a flop really... more down to my lack of time building the site up and contacting organic companies. The project was a bit too big ( I was trying to be all things to all (organic) people) so I have decided to set up...

I don’t know about you but we are getting more and more free CD’s given to us with newspapers and magazines.

Hi You can munch the separating ones straight away....The others sound like they are ready too. It sounds like you have the early variety calibrese, which are like the type you get in shops, if you pinch the heads off you will get smaller ones growing with small fresh leaves... these will be delicio...

Hi I like the idea of micro allotments....If you can wheel the barrow to it to collect your veggies then that's perfect. The idea of utilizing a neglected area or even getting together with locals to take over a neglected large private garden locally is a good idea...although the legals would have t...

Hi Cochlear

Hi

I was at the Annual Sheep Shearing Festival in Burt, Inishowen, County Donegal Ireland yesterday and found that because of a small typo on their jackets there were a LOT of Stewarts around........

Hi Jared. Great looking piece of ground... it might be fair to say there hasn't been many chemicals on that land for a while..... I lived in Nottingham for a few years near the Mapperley allotments. It's a fantastic place and people have actually started to live there nearly full time. It is a great...

Hi Shirley. A wet paint sign would have ruined the fun......Someone else mentioned the same name for the ride as you... maybe we just made up that name ourselves, googling it is quite interesting though .......The woman said that they used to sit on top of the Witches hat and see how long they could...
