Thank you very much!

Hello there… would anyone know of updated contact details for Mauzi as I am interested in purchasing this book.

Sent her a PM, emailed and tried to look at the website however it seems that’s no longer there.

Alternatively, would anyone know where I could buy the book? I have searched online stores with no success there as well!

Thank you.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention, Humbug.

PS, I haven’t been here for a while but was emailed a query at the Poultry group so visited there this morning. Hi!! :wave:

I found the information and unfortunately it’s all about free standing stoves and there are no all-gas underbench ovens (which these days they call ovens or single ovens). 🙁

And whilst I could not afford to buy them, at the time I looked at some expensive international brands (gas) as well and all of them (that I found anyway) were proudly…[Read more]

Hi Jayne. I don’t get the time to come here very often anymore but I have this morning, saw your thread and thought I could comment on this one!! :cheer:

I’m in a stand alone solar home too and had this same problem when we moved in a few years ago. We could have bought an all-gas all-in-one stove but wanted a wide stove top (for our big pots)…[Read more]

Bin great, thank you! 🙂

Running after grandchildren, working here and there and helping to run an organic food co-op which has taken off with a life of it’s own and very successful. Takes a fair bit of admin time but well worth it.

I miss the folk at ALS, and the older folk who don’t seem to be around here any more. I just don’t get here…[Read more]

Glad to hear that, Erthgirl. It’s a delightful home so someone will fall in love with it as it is.

All the best in your “new life” in the South West. It’s lovely down there too.

Hi Barb (waves madly), and thank you. Will try any lead! :tup:

It’s beautiful… my style of house.

Let’s hope this one isn’t pulled down by the new owner to make way for some modern structure. Is there a heritage order on it??

Hi BV. I, too, have fox woes but now fence my chook sheds and runs with solar powered electric netting. I can move it round as I rotate them on different ground.

Here’s the link to Allsun which sells them

I have a couple of alpacas too, one of which is excellent at chasing foxes away, however I move them around too and so they’re not always…[Read more]

Thank you for asking the question Dav-e, and for all the helpful replies.

I’ve wondered the same thing, whether these were really effective or not. Each time we’ve thought of looking into them, something else has come up to spend our money on 🙁 :dry: , so these were still on the list to investigate.

I wonder why some (not on ALS) say…[Read more]

Wow! I came here to do a bit of lurking whilst waiting for something to download and whose name should I see but KIMBLEs! I just had to log on and say hello.

Hello to everyone else who may remember me too, as I haven’t been around for a while either.

I missed ya, Kimble, but glad to hear you are fine and expecting a number 3 – congratulations!

Hi Fozzie,

Re your “Has anyone else incorporated Bio-Dynamic principals into their own personal vegetable garden or farm? Have you found an improvement in the soil, ie worm activity, water retention etc? Did you make up your own BD500, or did you purchase it?”

I don’t farm or grow the BD way (yet – it’s on the list!) however one of my family…[Read more]

Mashelly, what a great post. It’s easy to dismiss the harvests from our backyards but if we were to add up, as you have done, what it would cost to buy those same quantities in the shops, we would be quite surprised, I think!

Yep, I have a thick row of comfrey along long stretch of my vegie garden fence and it gets past and/or under.

However, I’ve heard that a thick row of comfrey AND a thick row of lemon grass should do the trick. Maybe I’ll try that elsewhere.

Kikuyu is amazing stuff. After all the rain we’ve had lately, it is looking green and beautiful as a lawn,…[Read more]

Have been testing out a few things today, loading photographs etc, and I have to say that putting up piccies is a BREEZE compared to the old site! Avatars, photo albums, editing, deleting, commenting – you name it, I can now do it, whoopee!! 🙂

THANKS!

Woohoo! Exciting, isn’t it?

Happy Birthday, Elizabeth!

Hope it’s a happy day for you and that you get time to do something you enjoy…

Ree

Lol, I’ve just let out SEVEN broodies from the broody pen, after them being cooped up there for a few days. Inbetween all this rain, we’ve had some warm weather and I was having hens going broody left right and centre, the last lot being this group of seven! I think Í’ve made the nests a little too dark and cosy!

Others may give you different…[Read more]

PS, did a quick search for you and this gives some general information about the green smoothies and how they can help with weight loss, getting healthy, etc. There’s lots more on the net…
