And as for inside the house I have bromeliads, spider plants, calatheas, a golden dragon plant, a trades...

That is fantastic, especially as I have many brambles in my garden.

Sounds like the flour was infected before you got it, we've always been ok to just keep flour in air-tight containers.

Hello!

9? Stitch it to the lining of your curtains for insulation 10. Use it to insulate your giant African land snails tank during winter (maybe that's just me!) 11.

I also remember watching Jurassic Park when I was 12, my mum refused to let ...

We have...

Not something I am ready to do this year as I have only recently started propagating, but for next year I thought about creating little natural cold remedy kits that include things like a bundle of eucalyptus bark, a small aloe plant and a jar of honey or something similar with little hand written n...

I think I can manage 9 of those...isn't Country Life that magazine that has a cover full of promise but once you open it up and look inside you find yourself staring at pages of useless twaddle and articles trying to flog you "must have" items for your home and garden that cost stupidly la...

Not so much a gift idea but I stumbled across this- http://gemdedude.deviantart.com/art/Dec ... -331655366 (credit to the guy/girl who's picture this is) and it struck me as a festive way to keep spiders away.

I've just had a quick scan of the forum and can't see that anyone else has started this yet so I apologise for being the first, or if I'm not I apologise for not spotting the thread. One of my "resolutions" back in January was to be more organised about making gifts for my family and frien...
