I`d be grateful for ideas. To start my petrol mower you have to put a lever to the top of the control on the handle and pull the string thingy to start the engine. Then you have to move the lever down to the 'go' position to start mowing. Well, the engine starts first time but when I put the lever t...

Don`t like being called a 'townie'.
Feels like being sneered at.
OH and I moved from the village because we had to work and can`t get back because our suburban semi won`t fetch enough to get us a village house nowadays.

Oversensitive? Maybe.......

I`ll get me coat...............

What a good idea OH! My other half and I moved to the suburbs to be near work but promised ourselves that we`d move back to the village when we retired. Unfortunately, when that happened the amount our suburban semi would fetch would just about get us a garden shed in Wiltshire (his home county). Wh...

A not-uncommon story this!
My sister lives in a small rural village where the incomers have complained about the honking of the Canada geese flying into a nearby lake. (and the church bells of a Sunday morning.)

Phew! Thanks for that. I`ve got an ancient tranny up at the allotment for those rainy afternoons in the shed.

Eh? What`s that?
Will I have to get a new tranny?
When?

Oh dear - oh dear - oh dear!
I thought at first that it was a spoof article.
I don`t understand it but I instinctively fear it.
Perhaps I`m a techno-dinosaur or a scientific-luddite or something,
Oh dear-oh dear-oh dear

Congrats OH!
Like the sevenfold Millenium eh?

Gosh thanks, Johnboy!
I shall look forward to a bumper, tasty tomato crop!

Thank you - that sounds like a good idea!
I thought that the leaves had to be under a certain amount of pressure to give forth the good stuff. Wrong again!

Thanks again!
Clearer now.

What an interesting page! Thank you. I learned a lot from this link.
But can anybody suggest a dilution ratio for my treacly black comfrey liquid?

Good morning, I have two comfrey questions that I hope you clever folks can answer. 1) My comfrey is now about 18inches tall and bushy. Can I cut it now? How many times a season can I cut it? 2) I make 'dry tea' from my comfrey, that is, I pack a container tightly with leaves and collect the black l...

Thanks for this! I`ll get them up the allotment before it gets colder!

I`m moving my strawberry bed to a new spot on the plot. I potted the runners which a thriving and burgeoning in pots and the new bed is cleared and ready. Do I put the new plants in now or keep them in the pots until spring? If so, they`re growing away really well with big leaves around eight inches...
