Re: Cod liver oil
I've never minded the taste of bottled CLO. I don't touch the capsules because I feel you are imbibing more gelatine capsule than oil.

wine glasses
Lots of folk will have washed their Coronation meal down with wine, but I wonder how many will have used commemoration glasses from Elizabeth's accession in 1953?

Re: Long awaited Spring Bits and Bobs…
Hi Primrose. Our seurity light also comes on when its windy, but it's to be expected. The motion sensor moving in the wind is the same as as something moving in front of it when it's calm. Foxes also set if off. Perhaps fixing your light more rigidly would help. Regards, John.

Re: Hand Rotary Sieve Composter
I've had one of the rotary sieves for a few years now. Mine is a Clarke, based in Essex, and I find it sits quite nicely inside my wheelbarrow, which not only raises it to a comfortable height to operate but also allow me to take the final tilth wherever it's needed.

cancer
Hi Snooky, Sorry to hear about your bladder cancer. I had this 18 months ago, Stage 2, which I don't think was muscle invasive. The East Surrey hospital at Redhill have been marvellous - a quick operation and three months later the consultant uttered the loveliest words to hear, "You no longer ...

Re: 2022 harvests
Due to the aftermath of a cancer attack (now hopefully sorted) I was unable to look after my veg as well as needed and the dry summer didn’t help. I did manage to get a few seeds in, with mixed results: Potatoes – Arun pilate and Desiree – Quite fair return on both Lettuce – Little Gem – no problems...

Re: Happy Birthday JohnN
Hi, TB: The only place I fished in Scotland was the Tay, at Birnam, with the writer Bill Currie. Never had a fresh run salmon, but several kelts. My best trout was a Rainbow of 8lb 10oz, from the beautiful Duncton lakes in West Sussex.

Re: Happy Birthday JohnN
Thank you one and all for the greetings, it means a lot the older you get and many of your long-time friends die off. I've had to give up my great love of fishing - incredibly I mentioned it was my birthday on the website of a certain famous carp lake that I fished over 60 years ago and I've had 66 ...

incinerator protection
Bright ideas wanted! My dustbin-type incinerator has reached the end of its days so I'm planning to replace it with a similar 90 litre model. But I'd like to protect the bottom and lower walls from intense heat to make the unit last a bit longer. My thought is a kitchen foil layer on the bottom and ...

Re: hydroponics
The Mullard electronics company used to also have a hydroponics division, due, I think, to the interests of one of its directors. The company no longer exists but it's possible there is some literature somewhere published by the company. And off subject, but just to give you all an April smile, Mull...

Re: weedkiller transfer
Hi Peter. Yes, glyphosate. I want to spray deep rooted grass and weeds round my raspberry canes, which have been pruned back to 18in shoots. The roots are so entangled with the cane's roots that it's impossible to just dig them up, but I don't want to kill the canes!

weedkiller transfer
Some advice, please. Can weed killer that goes to the roots kill or damage other roots that they come into contact with under the ground? Thanks.

Re: Late Autumn Bits and Bobs.
A windy autumn spreads leaf fall everywhere, but the last few weeks in the south have been remarkably quiet, with the leaves staying where they drop. as demonstrated by my little Bramley tree. Don't really want to sweep them up!
