Only 6 times a week :D?? That's a lot of meat... About the dioxin scandal: It doesn't matter if they are organically fed or not, it matters if they have been fed feed that contains contaminations. Germany is a big country on organics and they export a lot of animal feed. If you want to be sure, you ...

Now during winter I try to be ok with just my jacket, but it's a huuuge fluffy jacket that contains: Passport Wallet 3 pens Bunch of papers and receipts Paper napkins, tissuepaper, toiletpaper, most of them used (yuck - but I always have a cold so not surprising) Two chapsticks Keys My bag, which I ...

I made 10 liters of elderflower cordial with a friend. However, when finished we realized we had no bottles, so we stored it in our winebucket.

Started bubbling like crazy overnight, we left it for a week and it turned into a crazy strong wine :P.

So impressed! Maybe I should go for it, but I would need artificial light I think... Very dark up here during winter...

I haven't used SNUS since new years... badly craving it... Not so much that I need nicotine, I just miss the feeling. SNUS <3 https://cigaro-nu.loopiasecure.com/image/cache/data/Snus/Swedish%20Match/White%20portion/Catch%20Eucalyptus%20White%20Portion%2024g_400X236-500x500.jpg I've ordered tobacco s...

I was writing about el Nino when I was in 5th grade, before all the media hype about global warming... Always been a barefoot kind of girl. Always preferred homegrown or wild food, dreamt of a farm... Wasnt quite able to realize these dreams though, trying to be an adult was just so much work, study...

Alternating rice and winter grain on the same field is prob not possible in europe (def not for me), no, but growing veggies among your fruittrees, returning the fosfor you take away (such as returning all the straw to the grain field) and using chickens for pest control are all sound :P. I also lik...

Easier by dogsleigh or snowmobile =). But sadly, we have no polar bears.... and I've only seen a polar fox from a great great distance. The hares are pretty cool though. Right now I'm in Kiruna, 300km away from the house on the map, it is above the "cultivation-border". You can grow rhubar...

What can I say, it is a permaculture must-read. The art of doing nothing. Of superlowmaintance farming without plowing, tilling, pesticides, herbicides, promoting the plants natural strength and letting nature do what she does best =).

Cool =). Just PM me if you need help translating something, sometimes translaters can do weird things.

Nice and warm out today though, -13,5 :D. And you are hoping to farm in that! :shock: What? Ice poles? -13 is nothing, it goes down to -35 easily :D. Good things about this climate: - The cold kills parasites and blight and such stuff. We can grow very sensitive potatoes up here for example. - Midn...

Yes 0=)... You should learn it!

I would love to find a similar version in english. I mean, if the Swedes can rustle up 23000 members from a 9 million population, there must be a world-wide forum with like... a million members?

Ish is nice but very small =).

I could spend hours looking at these beauties:

Superdupercheap lentil soup (two onions, five carrots, 2dl lentils, eco stockcube, cayenne, ginger, salt, bayleaf).

With homemade sourdoughbread, my first ever, it is awesome :D *proud dance*

Only using conditioner (a light one for washing, a heavy one for conditioning) has helped me (they have to be silicone free etc). I use a shampoo without sls occasionally. I really like Faith in Nature Hemp conditioner, it is almost only plant extraxts =), and lots of good stuff for anti-itch like h...
