My husband had shocking cramp......until, yes you've guesed, we put a bar of soap in the bed!!! No idea how it works (husband's day job is as a bio medical scientist and he has no idea how it works)...Do we care? No!!!! we both get a good night's sleep...

Havn't watched it yet, hope to see it this week. A couple of thoughts: My husband is a vicar...we live in a vicarage but h e is not paid and has a "day job"...We have found that if we go anywhere and he wears his dog collar there are two reactions... Firstly people are more polite and go o...

That's right we do not lock them up at night...they are in a garden with a 6foot high chain link fence...to keep the children in but I do not think it would keep foxes out. the hens are safe and sound in an omlett cube and the rabbits are in an omlett rabbit hutch, but the ducks just sleep wherever....

If I knew how to edit I would change the word to ducks.......!!!!!

The problem with my ducks is they do not live in a duck house as such, they have a dog kennel full of lovely straw...all cosy... but do they go in it? NO so they just lay their eggs wherever they are! at the moment in the sludge and worse....We did try shutting them up at night for safety, but as th...

Recently I have had two eggs...from the same duck (only one is laying) that smells awfull, not the "bad egg" sulpher sort of smell, but a very ...er I think sour is probably the best description. the yolk and the white look ok and I know the eggs were fresh. the only thing was they both ha...

I have only made it from double cream... very simple, just put in food mixer. When lump of butter is produced save the buttermilk for cooking. Rinse the butter in coldwater and enjoy...easy.

Yes I have heard that bark can be a problem.... didn't read it until I had put four big bags of it in the chicken run!!!!!! thankfully they seem ok and it must be 6 months at least since I put it in, it has gradually disintigrated into the soil (used to be lawn).

Hadn't thought about sand.

Our 2 rabbits live in an eglu with a very extended run... they did used to have free range in the garden, but one of them was causing too much damage. I have had to put netting on the ground to stop the amazing digging skills of one of the rabbits and I would like to cover this with chippings...is t...

Love sponge cake made with duck eggs... weigh the eggs and add the same weight of all other ingredients...Always been lovely... never had success with them for Yorkshire pudding....just flat and yellow!

Does anybody have a recipe for egg custard using duck eggs.......I presume it is a bit different ratio milk to eggs cos the eggs are bigger???

Just starting to realise (thankfully before buying bokashi) that we really have very little food waste... this week I am going to keep it in a seperate container and see just how much there is.... yes, yes, I realy must get out more....could go somewhere nice with money saved from not buying bokashi...

Just been checking out price of the bran stuff for bokashi bins and the price quoted by p.penn is quite high, it is available for 6kg for £25.42 .... I think this amount would last a long time. Hmmmmmmmm will have to think about this and shop around the web a bit more.

Where we used to live we could put raw fruit and veg in with garden rubish in a green bin. Now we live 10 miles away we can only put garden rubbish in??? Luckily I compost our stuff but still don't understand the difference.

Does anyone use a bokashi bin? (think that's the spelling)
