    Modifying Solo Pot

    I don't know what you mean by that. Can you post a drawing or a photo, or post a link to a picture showing that?

    What did you buy today?

    Didn't go further than the back garden, hanging out clothes to dry, then bringing them in because of hail and rain, then hanging then out again... But when my Pentacon 6 to canon ef adapter was delivered, I discovered that the lens that I recently bought is *not* a P6 mount, but what I now...

    A.I Created images and video

    I'd love to get one of those! Searching for one, I stumbled upon an article claiming that "the best AI tools stopped adding extra fingers years ago". https://www.bbc.co.uk/future/article/20260324-i-tried-to-prove-im-not-an-ai-deepfake

    Stoopid jokes

    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.

    Sprouts & Micro Greens

    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...

    Barlow knife ?

    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.

    Sprouts & Micro Greens

    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...

    Sprouts & Micro Greens

    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...

    What are you watching?

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

    What are you watching?

    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...

    The 'I've found a bargain' thread

    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...

    Open question - Financial

    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...
