Hi Bel
Sorry to hear about your bees. I had a chat to a friend who has hives on a farm near you, it is a bad season due to the lack of flowers on the gums and this might have weakened your hives. If you are looking for a book make sure it is Australian as we do thing differently to the US and Europe. Also if you are buying equipment on EBay be…[Read more]

Forgot that it was on, we went to the Wynn Vale Community Garden open day instead.

We were Diggers members for a short while but found their customer service falls way short of the mark, when they were out of stock of some of our order there was no explanation just a credit on the bill. Add that to poor germination and the cost including postage and membership, I couldn’t recommend them to anyone. There is a stall that sells E…[Read more]

Thank you Sue, we will try to celebrate a life well lived, not a loved one lost.

My condolences on the loss of your mum. We lost my Mum in July and as the English legal system moves at a glacial pace we are still dealing with it. Christmas will be hard as her birthday was Christmas Eve. The move to Tassie is still only a dream for us as our kids are still at school and uni. Good luck in your new life.

This shows what happens when an ecologically unsound industry is combined with bureaucracy. :woohoo:

Hi Iduna and welcome, I like the idea of getting rid of the lawn, ours is a brown weed infested wasteland, I can’t bring myself to spend hours watering with a hose (life’s to short and water to precious) as our kids are growing up it only really gets used as a place for the dog to poop. I am still trying to talk the family into losing at…[Read more]

Thanks Bullseye I will get the hang of this one day:D

Hi from another South Aussie, hope 2010 is good to you.

Hi from another South Aussie, hope 2010 is good to you.

We are hoping to get there. We will look out for an aquaponics stall.:wave:

What has happened to food in the U.K. is happening here look in any supermarket. My 18 year old daughter had to ask me how to boil potatoes, and thought that the pre-prepared frozen potatoes were a good idea. She used to enjoy cooking when she was younger but she is only interested in quick meals now, her friends seem to care about as much as she…[Read more]

If they are moving to Adelaide then it would be better if they brought the computer here, it is easier to return to the shop if you are in the local area, but it may be harder to get good service if you have brought it interstate.
In S.A. try IT Warehouse, A and R Computers, Dick Smith and Office Works. They all have branches all over the metro…[Read more]

Sorry Bel but we have school footy, it seems that every time something good comes up the kids have something more important (for them) on. One day we will get to a GTG.

Looks good, good luck and I hope you get a good take up.

I am here when I get time.:wave:

It’s actually raining here but we could do with much more.
