Re: Weeds, weeds and more weeds. Help!
Excellent! I'm having the same problem with my garden. It was horribly neglected and I thought I'd never be able to do it without chemicals!

Re: Hiya, from Finistere in France
Hi Lurchermam. I'm a newbie also. I would love to restore a barn! One way I've found of keeping the slugs off is crushed eggshells

Re: Does anyone NOT have a television?
No TV here! Refuse to pay the extortianate licence and then the company supplying on top of that. We get on just fine without.

Hello from Ireland.
So glad to have found this forum. Im 25 since february, but I've dreamed of owning and living off my own land since I was 19. The major nudge in this direction came with the birth of my son; growing my own, recycling and ridding my home of chemicals. Amazing the way children change your whole view o...
