I might have read this on here... I tried it out last week on somebody who lives out east of Suez and it tickled him pink, so here goes. Apparently the people of Dubai don't like to watch the Flintstones.

I have a terracotta three-story "pagoda" shaped seed sprouter... It works well, keeps a perfect level of humidity, keeps the seeds in the dark and allows air flow. But the little holes that allow the water to drain used to get clogged by the roots of whatever I tried to grow. Clearing them...

Heinnie could do with a copy editor.

It's steel, Jim, but not as we know it.

Peppers are often F1 hybrids with sterile seeds...

A clip point blade is totally traditional on a Barlow pattern knife, a lambsfoot blade is not. Anyway, you shouldn't be peeling your apples; most of the goodness is in the skin.

When I started sprouting seeds again after a long pause, I bought special "germline" brand packets of mung beans and fenugreek. But those are also sold as foodstuffs, so don't have any kind of treatment or coatings. I've found that the germination rates of whole fenugreek sold as a spice or mung...

Been doing this for decades! We used to grow "mustard and cress" on kitchen roll when I was a small child. You can buy that already sprouted in supermarkets in England, but I've not seen it anywhere else. I sprout mung beans quite often, and fenugreek almost as often. From time to time I do...

Well that was a loooong read. Thanks for posting it.

I remember watching that when I was a boy... The pilot was better than the series that followed.

Mum had recorded the France England match in the 6 Nations and wanted to watch that tonight. I'm not really that interested in watching televised sport. I already knew the score and had been subjected to the post match analysis on French wireless the following day, but I managed to keep quiet...

I don't understand Heinnie's description... Among the list of features: Wire cutters ... Metal Saw Wood Saw ... Wire cutter, bender and scraper ... Hard wire cutter Looking at the image, I see only one saw. Or maybe the file has teeth cut along the edge? Tiny teeth. And what's going on with...

I was talking to the manager of the riding school where I learnt. He tells me that he needs to pay a company to take away the mix of straw bedding and manure from mucking out. When I got our first compost bin at this house, I was introduced to a woman who runs a livery yard who was very happy...

Pollinators are out in force at my house. White tailed and buff bumblebees, violet carpenter bees, honeybees, hover flies, not too many wasps, yet.

Not a cathedral, but there is a proper mediaeval castle being built in France: Guédelon. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gu%C3%A9delon_Castle

This made me chuckle... When I was living and working in the US I was often confronted with technical and HR limitations, and often asked my American colleagues (tongue in cheek) "how did you people manage to put as many on the moon?" The response was generally along the lines of "different...

I started a thread in another sub forum. https://bushcraftuk.com/community/threads/hewing-axes.169642/

For those looking for hewing axes, take a look at la-frontiere.fr. In particular there are two versions of a model called Bradva, a lighter one available in both left- and right-handed versions, and a heavier one but only right-handed...
