I found this on a website about Organic Food. m Says it all really? Some of the top reasons why you would benefit from eating organic Conventionally farmed food is packed full of poisonous chemicals. An apple, for example, normally has up to 30 artificial poisons on its skin, and that is AFTER you h...

The link works ok for me.
It is a very good site Jerry.

I believe the Organic debate should be regularly aired since it is becoming more into the vocabulary of the general population. I don’t think that there is any correct way to grow crops; it is constantly evolving along with every other aspect of life. Surely the work by E B Balfour (The Living Soil ...

Try the Cheddar Gorge Cheese Company, they do make Cheddar in Cheddar.

A very interesting topic Compo, I think that you may have touched a raw nerve though. I am also a newcomer (greenhorn rookie) to this site and was wishing to discus the big 'O' but reading the replies I'm pleased you raised it before me. However, if it's any help I have an old agriculture book from ...

Thanks Chantal

I wondered where it went.
Yes, you did remove the right one but that is not to say the other has not any mistakes.

Thanks again

We always plant our peas using the domino 5 spacings and we now for several years use the same spacing but wider apart for broad beans. I find they resist the winds better in this format. I found the information regarding which way to plant beans very interesting and in future will plant them scar d...

Sorry, I have made a mistake (not unusual for me).

I posted a topic 'Growing new potatoes in the same ground' twice. The later one (where I corrected some of my spelling mistakes) I want to keep, but how do I remove the earlier posting?

Barney

I wonder if anyone has experience of growing new potatoes in the same ground as last years? We try to get fresh ground each year but this year the land we got in the autumn is extremely heavy clay and has not been cultivated for years and is also very wet. We can't get much tilth on it so we will pl...

You are certainly not completely safe by relying on a RCD. Simply a RCD compares the current flow in (PHASE) to the current flow out (NEUTRAL). If they are the same it will not trip, however if you cause some current to flow through your body to earth, it detects the imbalance and trips. An RCD will...

Please correct me if I am wrong since I was involved before the regulations came into operation. My understanding was the new regulations do not discriminate between an electrician who is not Part P registered and a DIY person. Both can undertake the work and both have to notify the appropriate buil...

Anyone can still do the work, but it can only be inspected by someone who has registered with part P. There are many electricians who do not have the Part P. To be registered you have to complete the training and then pay an annual registration fee (not cheap). Therefore you have to consider letting...

Can anyone help in locating spare rubber cup. We have an old cabbage planter with the name 'Super' marked on it. It is blue in colour and has a circular disc with fingers around the circumference where you place the plants. Two local farmers have similar machines which plant double rows, ours is the...

You have all convinced me that it is mice, and on further examination there is a manure heap near the missing beans with several similar holes in it.

Barney

There are paw prints alongside my rows and we have badgers but also foxes and wandering dogs but the disturbance is only the small circular holes in the soil to the missing bean.

It is as if the offender has pushed straight down on the bean and removed it.
