Lots of answers to that one. I've wondered this myself. I like MKG's the best. "I'd say that the optimum "small" kit is four demijohns - one fermenting, two maturing, one spare - which can be hidden away reasonably easily, even in a flat."

After all the planning and work, my garden was pretty much a flop this year. I did get some potatoes, sweet potatoes, onions, celery, garlic, tomatoes and zucchini. That's it. Sounds like a lot, but I only got a little of each. Next year though.......

I'm going to have to try that, but with milk instead of water... bet it's going to be great! I received an Amish starter a few months ago that called for 1 cup flour, 1 cup milk, and 1 cup sugar to 'feed' it every few days. So I decided to try it with my wild starter - wow! Not sour at all. I like i...

Is that normal for the area that you live? I can feel for you though!

That was the last one... she is supposed to have another one in the works and the time is here... LET'S HAVE IT NOW I SAY!

3/26/08 We went and visited my children and grandchildren yesterday. I missed my chance to work in the garden. It didn’t rain until early this morning… if I had of known I would have postponed my visit till today… but the weather has been the same forecast, so how can a person tell? We can’t...

Thanks... my right arm, shoulder and even my arm pit especially feels like its been run through something or something just ran over me during the night! Man am I sore! It's a good sore though. We didn't get any rain yesterday after all and the wind was bowing pretty hard too. The garden is drying u...

I will have to put off planting for more than a week. I guess I will transplant the seedlings into larger pots. Didn't want to do that.

Thanks...

Is the bread very sour?

Mud… and rain for the next week is forecasted.

It has been very frustrating tilling this garden. All the holes made it a whole hellava lot of work. What should have been a pretty straight forward job has turned into a major undertaking. The tiller weighs 400 pounds (that’s what they told us) and every time you hit one of those humps, the tille...

don't mention your gas prices lol! with conversion we are at about $5 per gallon. more if you're running a diesel. My plot is a fairly large one for this bit of the UK. you're very lucky. Wow five dollars a gal... I guess we are all feeling the crunch, eh? Ours isn't that high, but high enough, alm...

Aren't you glad you joined this forum Linda? All this translating of words and measures! :mrgreen: :lol: :mrgreen: For what it's worth I use 500g flour for a loaf. Yes loads of fun... tis enjoyable! So it would seem that my one homemade loaf uses about 685.5 grams of flour per loaf, about the same ...
