your post made me chuckle Green aura. I've heard sutherland even worse than here. lol I once got asked by a council official, "are you a cult?" Needless to say I nearly peed mysel laughing at him. He felt like a right tit. They grow veg, plant trees, live in wigwams and there are lots of h...

wow. Everyone is growing loads! Good to see! This year i'm growing more than usual as i decided to not grow so much last year but, this year its: pak choi, mustard, mizuna, chicory, lettuces for every season, corn salad, turnip greens, several types of chard, few types of kale, brussels, early sprin...

i can also do small quantites of shea butter, hemp butter, apricot kernal oil and borage oil if anybody interested. Herbs too. Pm if needing.

i can send you a small bag of either emulsifying wax or cetyl stearyl alcohol. I have both in bulk. Enough for a small batch of of lotion for 3 quid. Pm me if u need it.

yep, played trombone for years. Hm. Trick is learning where all the positions are then learning to use the lips to get the proper notes out. Warm it up b4 starting each playing session by blowing air through it. Mouthpiece should feel warm b4 you start playing. He could practice by trying to get the...

very civilised!!

i take it the planning regulations must be more relaxed in poland than the uk eh?

aye, i would agree with the green roof idea. I'm in a high wind area as well and green roofs are heavy and stay put in stormy weather.. You could just do post and beam. Build a frame out of 4" x 4" posts then clad it. Put a gable roof on.. Flat roofs are terrible for windy locations. Best ...

no tv for nearly 6 years. Don't miss it. No iplayer and no broadband and not enough power to think about running my laptop anyways! My internet usage is pretty much solely on mobile phone. Instead of broadband and tv... We play guitar for several hours in the evenings.

hello, i wondered the same thing a few years ago! We've since built a lot with turf here. My brother-in-law built an entire horse shelter out of it. I describe the method on my blog. sitdownbymyweefire.blogspot.com look under the label "vernacular building" and yes, there is a book... Call...

anybody ever tried the fukuoko method of semi wild veggie gardening or natural farming? Read about this a long time ago and yesterday saw it in action but was happening accidently. Came across this field on the moor yesterday.. Field that looked like fairly normal over grown field with long grass, t...

what's wrong wi landrovers? Lol when i think about it, it is my landrover that keeps me even more ish! I harrow with it.. Haul in all my own wood which is then all cut by hand.. Shift cattle and horses... Hauls feed for the animals... Shifts round silage bales from a to b... Moves building supplies ...

believe it or not my husband still uses his bucket albeit in the treebog shed and carries it 30 meters to the compost bin every few days... He prefers it he says... Talk about set in his ways! Lol however, whenever it is we get a house built we will just use the bucket system.. Easy to maintain and ...

Treebog.jpg this is our treebog. You can just build a platform that takes the weight of one person sitting on it. Fit a normal toilet seat on the platform and have a step up to the platform. Ours is posh... Lol has a wood fired shower too. On the otherside of the building i attached a tool hut and ...

hmm... I'd skip the hole in the ground. If it is just temporary build a small box above ground with slats between the boards so it gets aeration. Fill the box half full loosely with grass clippings and then dump the contents in there... Covering each deposit from your bucket. You could plant willow ...
