Polytunnel strawberries
Ive got a really good crop in hanging baskets from crop bars, only way to keep the mice off. The only problem is the TASTE. It's a bit bland. The variety is Mae and I left them outside till February as usual. Can anyone please recommend a good taster for early cropping under plastic?
Thanks
Jo
Thanks

worm bins
Well I never thought to look in the livestock section for worms! I have posted about my worm composting method before, its very simple and works for me. I made a wooden bottomless box with well fitting plywood lid, its about 18"× 3' because thats the size that fits down the middle of my comfrey...

Roots
This is a sort of rosti which I do for lunch sometimes. Grate up in the food processor if you have one, any root veg, potato, turnip, parsnip, celeriac and an onion of course. Mix with an egg or too and herbs and seasoning, then spread half in heated frying pan. Now grate some cheese and spread over...

I too have acquired a breadmaker having spotted a book called Gluten Free Breads from your Breadmaker. My husband and grandson are coeliacs and I make about 2 or 3 different kinds of bread a week and it's wonderful! They won't touch the bought stuff, its like sawdust. Sometimes I make proper wholewh...

I was thinking about vegetarianism while walking the dog this morning and came to the conclusion that being vegetarian for ethical and humanitarian reasons assuming you still eat dairy stuff is a nonsense. Only female cows give milk and then only after they've calved. So what is supposed to happen t...

Foxes and polytunnels
Are you sure it's foxes? I had a similar problem but I think it was rabbits chewing holes. I thought about rabbit fencing all round but decided it was too expensive so here's what I did. I clamped some 2×1 roof batten round the tunnel outside at about a metre high with some straight clamps from the ...

Moulting
Why do chickens and dogs moult at this time of the year? I would have thought they needed all the fur and feathers to keep them warm in the winter. Spring would seem to me to be a much more sensible time. I did think the dogs moulted when the heating went on but the chickens definately have no centr...

Brazil nuts
Has anyone noticed strange tasting brazil nuts? I always chop some up in our muesli (gluten free OH is coeliac) and occasionally you get one that tastes like weed killer or what I think weed killer would taste like, it taints the whole mouthful. I started buying organic ones but it makes no differen...
