Seems everybody has a mental health issue these days, people that call in to the doctor spot on Jeremy Vine show often add they have a mental health issue at the end of their symptoms.

Re: solar irrigation system

Re: Grow organic vegetables in small spaces

Welcome Guy.

For growing more produce in small spaces check out "Veg in One Bed, Huh Richards"book.

For composting check Charles Dowding on the web.

Re: Tesco vs Asda on prices

Has to be Tesco for regular shopping as thats the nearest. I use Lidl when I get £5 off voucher or planning to be in their town.
