so come on then, what method did you use? You've got to help out us ludites you know

I have never seen flowering rhubarb :shock: It is the one thing that my mum always had in the garden... was never looked after, never watered, never fed... but it (and my own crop of 10+ plants) have never been seen flowering :? ... I must go and search google images to see what it looks like... If...

If it's been dry there like here, then yes, that does tend to prompt them to flower early.

My rooster took a few weeks. If they don't go down after that you'll probably need to re-apply (not used epronex, so check the instructions - it may have a "don't re-apply" period)

Break off the flowerhead - you'll conserve the root energy that way.

Does anyone here make their own biodiesel?

I'm looking into this at the mo and would be good to talk to anyone who's actually made some.

Thanks Stoney. We are considering and outside boiler house so I guess if we went that route we could have a tank in there too. Hadn't realised the header tank was the key to pressure - had assumed it was the height of the cylinder. Your house is somewhat larger than ours, so an additional interior c...

Thanks for the info Stew. I'm pretty sure our current cylinder is not designed to be horizontal (judging by the water temp :roll: ) and that it also has a header tank. So long as the header tank doesn't have to be a vast distance above the cylinder, then we should be OK. Absolutely no room to have t...

Thanks Martin

Sorry for the ignorance Martin, but thermal store?

Can the tanks with the twin cores (for both solar and other heat imput) be used on their sides?

Thank, I'll give them a shout.

Yep - I'm thinking of starting an Aloe sanctuary

We've got a low roof and our current hot water cyclinder is fitted on it's side.

We'd like to have a combination of solar and wood burning in a duel coil tank system. Does anyone know if these tanks can be fitted on their sides or if there's an alternative for height restricted places?

Thanks

Thanks for that tip - I'll give it a go, but like you, will steer clear of the Aloes

Sorry, I don't know, but from the picture at the URL below (scroll down and click the pic) it looks quite easy to work out:
