Have you clicked on the delivery and about us bits? It talks about a flat fee of 3.99 USD and US warehouse and clothing. It also says it's based on laws in Canada.... The contact address looks wrong and google maps can't find the post code. I've not ordered from them, no.

With regard to yield the shiitake I posted an update in this thread: https://bushcraftuk.com/community/threads/fungi-dowel-colonization.155097/#post-2075335 Were started with 100 spawn dowels in about 6 2-3' fresh oak logs. That flush was better than others but you can get several flushes over...

To make compost quickly you not only need a mix of woody and green material but also air and it needs moisture. The plastic bins may not always provide an ideal environment but they are fairly cheap to get hold of and easy to use. To improve things you can build up a pile of suitable material...

Thanks, that's what I thought but they are listed as 1.5v. Just found some specs and they do seem to output 1.8v when new. The torches I have in mind don't list voltage other than AA or AAA batteries but I'll not risk it. It also helped me decide as the lithiums were several times the quality...

I've been sorting out some torches recently and been wondering about the batteries. Firstly, with rechargeable lithium batteries, has anyone ever had one overheat or catch fire at all? I've avoided unbranded cheap batteries but never had a problem with a growing list of them, and I don't know...

Do you plan to use all the 30kw when it's sunny enough to max our, or sell it back to the grid? Also, do you have an idea what a 30kw setup would produce on say a winter's day with a bit of sun and bit of cloud?

It depends on your point of view on catastrophes, plenty of people don't like otters as they will decimate fishing lakes for example. Most would agree that otters shouldn't be controlled but not much is being done to improve their native feeding grounds - i.e. our streams and rivers. Plenty of...

I would be curious to see them listed but I tend to pick them up cheaply whenever I see them and probably have more than I need. I mainly use mine for reloading, many of the reloading manuals are American and still in inches.

I've picked up a few tools from the various auctions. There are some auctioneers that specialise in tools as well. Even if you don't use them you can often see historical prices which would be helpful for setting your own prices. The Easylive site is good for this, you'll need to register an...

There's endless advice on composting but a couple of points. A big pile is likely to heat up and hot compost, possibly killing weed seeds and some diseases. This can take a bit of skill and room. Plastic bin type composters generally don't get enough material to heat up but slowly compost and...

Having visited a seriously ill relative in that hospital I wasn't that surprised by the story.

Well done on your perseverance. It's a shame you've not got an explanation so far as to why the 'mistake' was made. Does make one slightly worried about carrying something legal if the police don't understand the law.

I wasn't going to comment on this as I'm not sure it's such a good idea. I'd like to know more about what is being done to conserve the habitat and animals the martins will be feeding on. Where I live isn't too dissimilar to Dart or Exmoor, probably ideal martin habitat, but over the last few...

I spent a spare couple of hours today mowing a path through the very long grass around the edge of one of our fields. I finished as it was getting a little dark and then spent 10 minutes watching a young barn owl fly over the freshly mown grass looking for supper.

As a land owner I gather I can dig them up and bin them but not sell them? Can I give them away? The natives grow like weeds here, woodland is carpeted in them and they are rapidly spreading into our fields.

Thanks, but that has an inbuilt battery and I'm just after a plug in light with no battery. Although cost isn't that important for £20 I could buy a much higher capacity torch.

Thanks for the links. I didn't want a light on the end of a cable for my original use but did notice the Ikea light and it's on my list if/when I order from them. The XTAR was the sort of thing I was after, but a simple single white light. Nice to know there are things out there I've not seen...

I initially read the thread title as nasturtium and was going to say I like the pods pickled and would like to try and eat them a bit more of them... As for naturism I've never been to a nudist beach or whatever but can agree with this comment. I don't always like clothes, I was just paddling...

I've got a few books on how to cope with hoarding, they're in a box somewhere, under some more books and loads of other boxes... On a serious note I wouldn't regard myself as a hoarder but rather someone who doesn't have room to store stuff. But I do often find a use for something I've kept for...
