Economy of Scale ??
Can we put this sorry thread to bed thus:- This concerns the difference in ground areas between two different forms using the same material. If you take eight pieces of timber cut into equal lengths (dimensions to suit yourself) and first produce a square form and note the ground area and then using...

Dyers Weld
Hi Molly and Fen, The Latin name of Dyers Weld is Reseda luteola and is also known as Dyers Rocket. There are places where it grows wild in South Wales although it doesn't get a mention in many books. It is of the Mignonette Family. In the only picture I can find of it has flowers of a creamy yellow...

Economy of scale
Hi Allan, Poor simple me but when I went to school 1M x 1M = 1 Sq. Metre then build another alongside and you have 2 sq. Metres and another alongside and you have 3 sq. Metres yet somehow you have managed to get 4 and 9 respectively. When dealing with compost bins you want to know how much compost y...

New Management.
Oh well said Chantal!! It is abundandly clear, as you say, that there are quite a few people with exceedingly short memories. They talk of the lost Archive but the really important Archive was lost with the last attempt to speed the old forum up a bit. This new forum is such an improvement. All it t...

Logic?
Well forgive me Allan but I fail to see your logic and I would suggest you check your mathmatics.
Apart from the fact that compost is worked out by using Cubic Capacity so you are a dimension missing!
Decicedly!!

Ragwort
Hi Sally, I agree with you posting and would just like to stress the point about using gloves when handling it as it can have harmful effects on us as well. I always dig or pull Ragwort and if it is in flower I always put the head into a small polythene bag and bend the plant down and this way if th...

Propagating
Hi Andrew,
The equipment you will require is totally dependent on what you actually want to grow on your allotment.
If you could post more details perhaps we can all chip in and help you.

Punpkin Seeds
Hi Julie, I feel that John is perfectly right in all he has said. I do not consider it to be correct to store seeds for prolonged periods in a Refrigerator Salad Draw. I appreciate that a lot of people agree with Walt and I have read articles that advocate Walts advice. My seeds are kept in individu...

Wood for Raised Beds
Hi Paul, The Health and Safety Regulations meant that some time ago the formula for preserving timber had to be reformulated and these treatments no longer contain some of the offencive chemicals used in the original brew. Unfortunately a lot of the Organic publications, whether by error or design, ...

GM Crops
Hi Jenny, May I respectfully ask you to read the New Scientist Web page again. The Peas had nothing to do with Brazil Nut Allergy it was another experiment back in 1990 concerning Soya Beans. Now I agree with the testing of GM products but you put a sinister insinuation that if the company producing...

GM Crops
Hi Pete, I too thank you for the link and I feel that it is a very balanced view. Unlike Jenny I am exceedingly pro GM and to say that her friend, who has a strong allergy to Brazil Nuts, would have been in trouble had she eaten those Peas. You should take on board the fact that the rigourous testin...
