Well, missed out again! If you find any more like 1&2 dave I'd be interested! Cheers j

...saw a video about these guys a while back. Amazing and well thought out transformation...looks as though their design was thoroughly tested!

This is a brilliant and timely post! I have to patch several areas on my boat cover where a combination of wear and cat scratching has torn the cover on the edges. Could I ask, what would be the best process for doing this. The patches will be approximately 4x6" through thick canvas...doubled in...

It's a complicated time but all of us can take steps towards whichever level of self sufficiency we find comfortable. When it comes to growing for the table lots of us have become disconnected from the process, relying instead on the supermarkets for cheap veg. This year I fear we may have...

Those are interesting handles, great informative website too. Do they only distribute in Germany?

Guys, thank you so much for the advice. Once again I've learned something new! I've made up quick handles before but wouldn't claim they were anything more than rough and functional, maybe its time (now I've got time) to spend it making a nicely finished handle. Ash is a remarkable wood...

What woods are they made from traditionally?...probably ash although the grain on my handle doesn't look like ash...elm maybe? Cheers guys j Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Can't see that one?...

Nice! We (some students and I) came across a dead fox...I wondered about burying it to dig it back up again once all the fleshy bits had been eaten up...how long do you think this would take? Seems like a good experiment to me! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not a big fan of digging stuff up and moving it...I had a small patch growing wild in a small copse that I look after...someone kindly dug it all up...if I want garlic at home I plant a clove or two of the cultivated varieties

Ahhhhhh, okay....the seed bit....I'm off to look at the trees!

...not come across sycamore peas before?....is that leaf buds?...everyday is an education!
