Re: Keeping our cool
Mmmm just this week had a look at this forum again. I used to contribute regularly. (from 2001) The main reason I stopped was because of a few regular posters who were rather kneejerk in their reactions to certain topics and the way they denigated others (viewpoints)/ranted/started posts purposely t...

Hi Anne. If your paths are relatively flat and even, an Austrian style Scythe is the quickest thing other than a lawnmower. It's a pleasure to use and can handle long grass much quicker than a strimmer (without the racket and smell too). Can also be used for cutting nettles and weeds and even light ...

Lez - if you follow the link it gets you to the suppliers website - you need to phone them or email to get a price. I've just seen an advert this week by Agralan (the original suppliers of 'Enviromesh') for their new product called 'Envirotect' - it looks just like cosytex in the photo. I expect tha...

Hi Thanks OH - I think that most of the customers realise what it's all about - some of them volunteer regularly in exchange for veg. It is a lot of work for Ruth. There is lots of weekend work for us both if we can face it/fit it in with other things. The Village Fayre was half as busy as last year...

Repression of dissent
I have just tried to send an email to the 'contact' address of this site. This is what I wrote: Thanks for the forum - I have been using it longer than you - i.e since 2001 - it's great But... Why no more subza? This other format is harder to use due to it's layout, - keep it simple. Surely, a compr...
