Will try later. Currently having trouble uploading pics to flickr. The tomatoes are looking good (bit spindly because they had to stay in their pots too long but they'll fill out nicely in a few days. The peppers are looking a bit sickly though - I'm thinking it might be too cold for them even thoug...

Handmade cosmetics
I hadn't posted my website before because I know a lot of sites don't like it. I'm an aromatherapist and make all my products with only natural ingredients (except the soaps which I'll explain about in a minute). My website at the mo is very rudimentary. You know the story - marry a plumber and have...

Sorry to sound rude but why do you want bactericidal soap? Your body is covered in bacteria which help protect it from colonisation by harmful bacteria. Bactericides don't discriminate. Soap and water is perfectly adequate for keeping you clean. Also, some of the research done about the harmful effe...

Problem resolved
Tunnel now up and running - thanks to neighbours helping to put the skin on. It's now full of tomatoes etc and the aforesaid neighbours are all waiting with baited breath for the next big wind to carry it off into Balnakeil Bay!!! If it survives the winter I fear Balnakeil may find itself full of po...

Cheapest place we found to buy nematodes is on Amazon. There are apparently over 8000 different types. so what you found in your manure may well be. They are basically any roundworms. We had good results in our last garden with them, but our main problem up here are snails - are they sluggy enough t...

Thanks for that We actually discussed fitting it along one long side first as it seemed to make sense, but decided to follow the instructions instead (even though they were totally counter-intuitive). I think tomorrow we'll try it that way. You make me feel totally inadequate - our 10' x 15' polytun...

cheap brandy
I've got a recipe for plum brandy (which uses whisky but that's a whole other story). The author said she used good quality spirits because she wasn't patient enough to wait for the mixture to mature and mellow. Implying - I suppose - that if you're prepared to leave it for a while you can get good ...

Not sure - I thought you just used salt (and cabbage of course)! However, it may be a good way of using up the whey rather than chucking it out. (Having discovered paradise and being flat broke all in the same place I'm becoming slightly obsessional about getting something out of every last scrap). ...

Uses for whey
I'm just reading a book called Nourishing Traditions (bit weird but interesting).
She talks about using whey to cause lacto-fermentation for preserving veg - like sauerkraut etc.
