Just read an artical about human bodies being composted, this is allowed in Washington State, in America, environmentally not such a bad idea, but possibly like everything else there would be different finished quility of compost, evedently I would be of a greater quantity than the likes of some forum members (no names) and more than likely, quality as well after all I undoubtedly have more??? relaxed muscle :rolleyes : to feed the microbes with, but if you went that way what would you like to provide feeding for, personally I would like to think I would be good for a beech tree, which grows into a lovely strong tree and of course holds on to its leaves, which sort of reminds me of something just not sure what

Sleep tight my beautiful MarleyCat.  He battled a chronic mouth problem for last 18 months, had all his teeth removed last summer, but as never fully recovered. I handreared his litter from just under 24 hours old. He nearly died 3 times, lost 2 sibling as the litter had panleukemia, and was shot in jaw.

No more pain and Metacam for you.  We loved you from a day old, and letting you go is the last gift we can give you. Forever in my heart, just 3 years an 3 months old. 

I’ve decides to make a portion of my front garden available for growing wild flowers. I found a tub of mixed meadow flowers and I’m wondering if now is the time to shake the seeds, I’ve already shaken some grass seed over the area about 2 weeks ago. 

Suggestions and tips very welcome.

I just came across an advertisement on Instagram for these, and went onto the website. Anybody got any experience of growing these types of fruit trees, they sound very intriguing to me.

I hope this link works.

Yup I'm the idiot

Do any of you use them?

If so are they any good?

We have very poor light in our house and limited windowsill space so I thinking any additional light would be a help, I think!

I'm a fan of herb flavoured salt - basically dried herbs and salt crystals in a grinder, although I've never made them myself.   Great on chips.

I'm about to start one with seaweed!! The ingredients are:-
Sea salt, Nori, Sea lettuce, oregano, Parsley, Celery, Basil, Thyme, lemon grass, pepper, Mustard, Coriander, Onion, Garlic, Poppy seeds, Bay, Chilli, Mint, Herb flowers.

So many ingredients you can add - and the more you add, the less salt you use.

A suggestion for SC, in particular - have you made Chilli Salt? Maybe a new line for your "shop" especially if you could find local sea salt. Recipes at https://www.chilipeppermadness.com/chili...lt-blends/

All you need to do to win is design and make a Christmas decoration using only things you can find in the wild, with the exception of glue and wire.

The competition starts now and will close on the 15th December, we will then set up a poll to judge the winner.

It can be made by you, partner, children or grandchildren

Not done much today, though watched the church service on FB, very different from the normal remembrance service, but after that it has been a cold murky day so just sat reading some magazines thought I would come on here for a bit and see if I could wind up Veggie, Sc or Scarlet but they are not about might get them later

Which varieties are scented? I have one but it’s not got the beautiful scent. It’s still pretty & I’ve taken cuttings. But I’d really like some of the smelly stuff.  could you point me in the direction of which varieties to look for. Thank you.

Evening folks

Given we are in lockdown I'm sorting out a few outstanding indoor jobs 

I have a lot of printed black and white A4 sheets (about 400) that I intended to shred and add to the compost.

However I wondered if I could use some for making paper pots or do you think normal printer paper would be too thick?
