thanks becks!

ah. thanks! so.... possibly, I could make it with normal milk and add lactase aftrwards? that makes sense.
what I've been making is great in flatbreads and tandoori though lol.

I'm unsure if they're problems or to be expected. 1. I am using UHT lactose free milk, semi skimmed. 2. I am using a started of a lactose free bio yogurt. I heated the milk right, mixed in the culture, poured into a pre warmed wide neck flask. the thing is, it's coming out like grains in whey; I dra...

thanks!

I know they self pollinate and I can increase yields by tapping the canes occasionally when they're in flower, but can I cross pollinate a yellow (golden sunrise) to a red plum (san marzano) and create a hybrid of utter deliciousness?!

Sorry babes, been so busy with Sophie and whatnot! :D still alive, still ishing!

so many people seem to think you're better off without a water meter and it's just not true. on estimated bills we were on £80 a month for just water, and another £21 for sewerage.

We just happen to be an HE family. you're also not alone in having poeple tell you what you should do, what's right etc. what's right for you is not necessarily right for anyone else so you know what? stuff them!!! get yourself o...

ok, so do i need to rot it first then?

I don't have a heap yet.

our guttering got cleared out earlier by my lovely hubby... he's saved the bucket of stuff he dug out, you know, just in case his mad wife wants it for something. he's awesome like that.
So... can I use this as mulch? or compost? it looks like lovely stuff lol.

okiedokies, big stick it is then. thanks guys!

I wondered if there were any tribes of people that had to be vegan, not people who were on religious or ethical grounds I doubt that. There is always edible bugs around for protein in a foraging diet, even if they're not catching animals for meat. There are tribes of people who don't keep animals f...
