Re: Acne Management and Treatment?
I find bergamot essential oil really good for drying out and healing spots (recent discovery though I've been fighting them for almost 20 years now, grr). Just be careful if going out in the sun as it can make your skin more photo-sensitive, so more likely to burn. Smells amazing too!

Re: Garlic
I've grown both onions and garlic in containers - only problem I found was them sometimes getting a bit waterlogged so would just make sure the drainage is good. Ones done in pots were a bit small but a bath sounds ideal! :)

Re: Alcoholic Ginger Beer
This looks similar to the recipe in Darina Allen's 'Forgotten Skills' which I've made a few times, though from memory it tells you to put cold water into the sugar syrup, then add the jar contents, then strain, so you definitely don't kill the yeast. Has always turned out very fizzy (there's been th...
