    Watering the crops

    Watering has been a nightmare for me this year. The soil just won't take the water, there are no worms to be seen. It's basically just hydrophobic dust. .my water barrels have been empty for the last six weeks, and I've lost some expensive plants. I'm tired of lugging one watering can after...

    Dangerous trees

    My little apple tree has been dropping apples like crazy. They are not ripe yet, but I've got half a mop bucket full, and every time I go out into the garden in the mornings there are several more. I won't have any left come picking time at this rate! Autumn is very early this year, trees are...

    What is this?

    I use a steamer from a charity shop. Just unscrewed the little lifter in the middle and there you go. Mine cost a mere pound of the realm. I rest it on bare earth as they do cook the ground under neath, but an old baking tin helps to contain ash and prevent scorching.

    We can always change something. If you have the will. I was homeless at 17/18 in the 76 the summer I could get work on farms, the following winter almost broke me. My determination changed my life and at 20 I bought my first house. Not like today's kids who just give up and soak themselves in...
