    replied to the topic Off the grid and electricity companies in the forum Sustainable Energy & Energy Conservation 10 years, 1 month ago

    We enquired as to whether or not we could actualy physically disconnect our house from the power grid and the law actually states that if the power runs past your house you must be connected to it. Alternatively if you are connected already you cannot disconnect. We live on a main road, 11 kms out of the Perth CBD so we can’t say it doesn’t run…[Read more]

    replied to the topic What did you harvest today? in the forum Vegetables 10 years, 1 month ago

    Weeds!!:(

    I am talking about 10 wheelbarrow loads of weeds and grass and we haven’t finished yet either:blush: We didn’t do our normal planting for this time of year and we let the garden go a bit because we were due to go back to Canada in October to see my family again but then a friend got very ill and we cancelled our trip to be with her.…[Read more]

    replied to the topic Soda Stream?? in the forum Brewing and winemaking 10 years, 1 month ago

    I bought a new one two months ago and no one likes any of the flavours that come with it so we just either have fizzy water or a splash of cordial in it. I am so happy because my two younger boys now drink a minimum of 3 litres of water a day whereas before i got the soda stream I was struggling to get them to drink a litre. Hubby likes the…[Read more]

    replied to the topic Growing Sweet Potato in the forum Vegetables 10 years, 1 month ago

    My first attempt at growing sweet potato a few years ago yielded over 14kgs of potatoes. I just cut then end of a sweet potato and put it in a chinese take away container half full of water on the kitchen windowsill and I just kept the water up constantly and it went beserk. Once the shoots were about 5-6 inches or 13-16 cms long I went and…[Read more]

    I haven’t been on in ages and I just saw this. I am so sorry that you had to let Sam go. It is never an easy decision to make. I have only had to do it once and it ripped my heart out of my chest. RIP beautiful Sam. I will put a passage at the bottom of this post for you to read. It always makes me cry to read it but I really hope it is true…[Read more]

    replied to the topic Horse advice needed please…. in the forum Backyard livestock 10 years, 9 months ago

    Sorry it has taken so long to get back. From what I have been reading they are now pretty sure it is a pinched/trapped nerve and the horse is being treated. Thanks for the replies everyone.:tup:

    I should also point out that they are going to get her rechecked with a vet. They suspect she might have a pinched or trapped nerve, going by replies they have received.

    The horse isn’t hers Cindy. It is owned by someone she knows.

    replied to the topic Horse advice needed please…. in the forum Backyard livestock 10 years, 9 months ago

    Ok from the other forum I finally got a reply and it was this.

    Trail rides are pretty intermittent… sometimes she won’t be ridden for a week, sometimes a couple of times a week. She might only two 2 or 4 20-25 minute rides (walking) in a day, with ample rest in between (and a feed at lunch). I don’t think it’s tying up, she moves freely when…

    replied to the topic for sale – 160 acres, one hour from Brisbane .. in the forum Seed Exchange and Traders Market 10 years, 9 months ago

    That is absolutely stunning. If I had the money it would be a done deal. I can’t believe you can bear to leave there to be honest but we all have to follow our dreams. Good luck selling it.:tup:

    2 adults, 4 kids in a 4×2 house on 128sqm with the 12 and 9 year olds sharing a room. We feel like sardines and we are dying to get, if nothing else, a bigger house. We want to move to the country and have acreage and a bigger house so all the kids have their own room. The two younger boys have health issues that make sharing a room a very big…[Read more]

    Not while I have four growing boys under my roof no. It costs me almost $400 a week now to keep food on the table and they are still constantly hungry. I wont even go into bills and the mortgage etc.
