Re: What is the right charger?

It looks to me like you need a power supply with 12V DC output. Have a look through the power supplies you have for different things, if the round connector fits then look at label and see if it is 12 volts, it probably will be. Most of the ones I've found listed that say they are compatible with B&...

Re: Preserve your produce

My wife makes masses of preserves, taught by her grandmother so probably been doing it for nearly 70 years. A small amount of bottled fruit, plum family mainly and occasional pears. Jams from soft fruit; we grow strawberries, red and black currants, loganberries, blackberries, blueberries, gooseberr...

Re: Late Winter Bits and Bobs.

The sad thing is how few trees are being replaced. There's lots of effort put into creating woods and wildlife corridors but I think the specimen trees in old parkland or fields and odd trees left to develop in hedgerows are what make the landscape. The hedge flails that block drains and puncture ty...

Re: Protecting early peas

Are these direct sown peas? I stopped trying direct sowing years ago and use rootrainers instead and don't lose many apart from when a rabbit got to them. I sow two per cell.

Hopefully Jocelyn will be a bit of a wimp with a name like that.

Re: Late Winter Bits and Bobs.

Just wondered if it was allowing posts or if everybody was fed up with the faults.

Re: Cookie nag screen

I always used to run with the black screen (dark mode) but deleting cookies in an attempt to get rid of the cookies nag has reverted me to the horrible white screen and there no longer seems to be a way to convert back to black.

Re: Cookie nag screen

Found this "There is a dark mode! Click the moon icon in the top banner" which should get it back to as was but unfortunately no moon icon anymore.

Re: Cookie nag screen

Well cookie delete didn't help, all I've done is gone back to the white screen and forgotten how to make it black again!

Re: Cookie nag screen

And I thought it was just me! Might try deleting cookies when I get round to it.

Re: Early Winter Bits and Bobs.

Raked in some fertiliser, mulched with 12 barrow loads of compost and sheeted over with polythene so the potato bed is ready to go.

Re: Early Winter Bits and Bobs.

Disappointed yesterday. First day for a bit when I thought I could do something on a veg bed so I decided to lime the brassica beds. Went to the garage for the bag of lime I thought I had in stock but it was a memory failure, no lime. Decided to look online to see if I could order anything and was h...

Re: Early Winter Bits and Bobs.

Feel like I've actually done something productive this morning for a change. Cleared chrysants from greenhouse, wiped down, put staging back in and moved in my 24 forcing strawberries.

Re: Early Winter Bits and Bobs.

Well new year no change. Much better day yesterday actually got something done outside for a change (trying to resurrect pergola almost destroyed by the gales) but early evening back came the rain, 30mm between 5pm and midnight.
