Hi,it sounds like a great idea.We live rurally and even though I don't have a stall,I leave eggs out on the front porch and locals know to just leave the money next to them!So far so good!When I lived in Australia,I had loads of spare fruit and veg left over each year.I used to see mine to the local...

Hi all,just wondering if anyone is venturing to a festival this year,and if so which one?I might go to Womad again.We went the year before and had a great time.Please share xx

Noticed you're in Tassie,I'm from Adelaide! :wave: No I did'nt have a problem with snails where I lived (country)in SA,I guess it was too dry!The odd one we did get was soon eaten alive by my chooks!Gardening seemed so much easier in SA than here!No hardening off,greenhouse heaters,battling with sl...

Ah we don't have hedghogs to worry about here- I wish we had more things that ate slugs and snails to worry about- maybe then I wouldn't have so many...I must go and collect a few snails and pop them in the deep freeze before I put pellets about as the director of my sons' creche has a blue tongue ...

I did post a thankyou yesterday but for some reason it did'nt come up on this thread!!!!Anyway a hug thankyou to all that contributed into helping me out.I will definately use some of the tips suggested.I'm trying so hard not to use the pellets but at this rate the slugs will be eating much better t...

Hi all,I'm not that new to veggie growing.We used to grow our veg in raised beds,and most of the time,did'nt have a problem with snails and slugs eating our seedlings.However we recently moved house and decided to just have ground level veggie beds.I've just planted out some french beans and within ...

Well at the moment lunchtime on Sunday 16th May is coming out favourite. Is there anyone who'd like to come and can't make that day or shall we book it in our diaries?

Sorry I can't make that Sunday,its my weekend on at work!

I would of thought it was the food departments manager ordering too much food!!!!! Surely it makes more sense to possibly under order perishables,than to over order and waste money????

Hi I live close to Lacock and Seend so we would try and make it.Depends when it is as we both work every second weekend,and during the week on shifts.Would love to meet some like minded folk!

Hi Bonnie,I live in Atworth so pretty close to you.I just had a quick look at the Suma Website.Are you sure you can't just order for yourself?There are two places to order,Wholesale(which I could see there being a minimum amount of £250)but when I had a look at the "normal"avenue of orderi...

Looks fantastic!Have you filled it and got anything growing in it yet?

I just love the whole process.I start around January.I look at seed websites,and decide what we are going to grow.Then February I'm starting to sow some seeds ect.I like working with the earth,and it keeps me in touch with the seasons.I love the liberating feeling you get when you can go outside you...

Unless they've left the top soil(which they should of,it beongs to you afterall right?)then I would build up some raised beds.I used link a boards(can buy them from suttons)and I think two 1x1mt beds cost me around £60?Otherwise why not terrace that slope,if its facing the right driection,that could...

We had a very large plot in a town before we moved,and we paid £20 per year for our allotment,which was extremely cheap.Now we have moved to a house with a much bigger garden,and it was a wrench to give up the allotment,but it would be going to someone who was desparate to start growing,and I know t...
