I have several misgivings about canola/rapeseed oil, not least, that much of it is genetically modified, which causes a real problem for organic growers. The problem has become so great in North America that Canadian organic farmers have stopped growing it. I’m also highly suspicious of the market...

Morning Bridgette, I think that our experience down here in southern Italy sounds a little similar to yours - most of the stuff that we gleaned from books is of no use to us owing to climate extremes! For us, the best source of information, has been from our neighbours. There is no substitute for th...

It's very common here in Puglia to recycle old fridges as raised beds. We've wombled several from the bins and they've, so far produced peppers, carrots, cabbages, peppers, beetroot, chillies, tomatoes and gigantic basil and parsley. Come spring I'm going to try and grow asparagus from seed in one. ...

Avocados are poisonous to chickens (I only discovered this after one of ours died suddenly after eating a whole one by herself). I just did a quick search having read this thread and it seems they are toxic to birds, cats, dogs, horses, rabbits, fish, cattle and goats. http://www.aspca.org/site/Page...

I'm with chickenlady on his one. I'm not really keen on the labels downshift and downsize though. By selling our London apartment and leaving office jobs we've managed to rid ourselves of the mortgage millstone and traded up to a mortgage-free house in the country with one and half hectares of land....

cheese making - 19 recipes
I've got my cheese-making head on today and came across a pdf that contains 19 recipes. Not sure how to attach a pdf so if you google "Jerry Issa easy cheese cookbook" it will come up. Worth a gander if you're feeling cheesy.

You can cut the shapes that you like with a knife, no problem. The problem is getting the dough thin enough in the first place, which is where the pasta machine comes in handy. But if you have the time and the patience then rolled up sleeves and a rolling pin should suffice. The majority of pasta ma...
