Great feel Eh! Knowing where you food has come from and what has been done to it.

Now that's a worry. Does their colour show that they tend to the left of the political spectrum too?

Gidday How a septic tank works is, the gunk comes in through the pipe from the house and into the chamber where there should be a "T" join, one going up to the air to stop the surge of air in the pipe blocking the incomine with an air lock and the other going down into the lower part of th...

If you just cut it with a hoe or something like that and leave it as a mulch you will get far more nutrients out of it.

Does nature dig a garden?

Gidday Garlic can grow their roots so fast sometimes they will jump out of the ground. I'm not kidding either, they can push themselve right up out of the ground but the roots will not be firm enough to hold them so they topple over. I plant mine on ANZAC day, 25th. April, but the old idea was plant...

Gidday Peggy Sue, that sound bloody expensive glucossamine Eh! Go to the supermarketand get some off the shelf. Comfrey will not hurt horses if they eat it. I wouldn't force feed though as horses are smart than we are and might know when they have had enough. As for external use of comfrey, I just m...

O.K. then, but which of those plants are worth eating. Are there any vegetables that are rabbit proof.

I think the bulet idea is the way to go.

But Nev, it sounds like your drought is no joke, even the vineyards sound stuffed. Your entire agriculture industry is in real deep crap. Has either of your...

Why give rat poison to your children to cure the problem of too much sugar?

Why do they put rat poison in water to counteract the use of too much sugar even thopugh some people may not use sugar at all?

You ca...

Gidday

It's not a car its a nest box and they have just laid the egg and are now cackling.

Gidday

Well I have cured all sorts of things with comfrey. Usually just boil in as little water as I can till really soft then when just cool enough slap it on and hold in place with a bandage soaked in the juices.

Gidday

These days they want to ban anything that is good for you because some people are stupid enough to try to overdose on anything.

Gidday OOps, the little bat, yes. And we do now have stoats and ferrets that were introduced, like I said, stupid bloody people bringing those sorta things in here. Our flightless birds don't stand much of a chance against things like that, but they still don't attack people so the pig is the most f...

Gidday

Andrea, we do not have any native land mamal, just marine mamals. That is why so many of our native birds are flightless. Our bush, or as you say woods, are safe as to sleep any night but stupid man has been trying to bring in all sorts.
