I'm going to have a go. I have a breadmaker somewhere in a dusty corner but its a pain to clean so I'd rather do it without. I was hoping if its fairly easy I could make some every week. Any recommendations or tips for making it easy or more tasty?

https://www.sciencefocus.com/science/what-is-lab-grown-meat-a-scientist-explains-the-taste-production-and-safety-of-artificial-foods/ Well its coming, but will take a while before its part of the weekly shop. I wonder if future generations will look back in revulsion at the idea of killing and eatin...

It seems every authority has a different way of doing things, we get a small plastic caddy for this but no bags.

our food waste caddies take everything from bones to veg peelings Remember not everyone has a compost heap, also when we have rat visitors I stop putting veg on the compost heap for a while. It all goes to a local Bio-converter place where it gets converted to energy & the waste liquid used as ferti...

Here's a money saver for anyone who's rubbish collection includes a food waste caddy. Ours takes 20ltr bags & the compostable ones at supermarkets are around £2.60 for 10! Literally throwing money away. I cant find them much cheaper online either. However in Aldi & Co-op they have carrier bags made ...

Bill died this morning, how strange & quiet the garden is without him

Sad news at Chickenoplolous {cry} Bill is dying. He never fully recovered from his illness, his crow was still a croak & running around made him breathless & his comb purple, but he seemed happy & did all the other chickeny things. This morning I found him collapsed on the floor of their coop. He's ...

Great news for hedgehogs! Meteldehyde slug pellets are banned from sale and use from May.

We were discussing this (amongst other things) with our 20-something sons & their girlfriends. Our post ww2 parents grew their own veg & knew how to store it, ate seasonally, made all meals from scratch, made their own bread/jam/icecream etc, reared chickens/ducks for eating & eggs, made clothes etc...

really?!! What a strange thing. I presume its just for pinched fingers, not cuts?
If any of us remembers to try this next time we get pinched please let me know if it works!

Thats interesting. I think ventilation might be important, I did squeeze more tomatoe plants than usual in the patch last year, perhaps they were too crowded.

Last year I grew lots of lovely tomatoe plants, (blight resistant varieties) in a sunny sheltered spot outdoors. They did really well - then all got blight. I wondered if I could still plant tomatoes there, or nearby, but in containers rather than in the ground. Or would the blight spores be everywh...

I've not heard of that, would it be the same as eating kefir?

you've made me crave some rhubarb & custard now! no one else in my family likes it so its died out in our household. :(

aha I beat you! I just made a list & got to 33. I do get some out of season fruit like strawberries & blueberries most weeks, against my principles but little toddler Alice is a picky eater atm so I tend to indulge her when its something healthy.
