Does anyone know if you can still get ‘blue bags’ for whitening laundry?

Hi SOAPNUTS are great they work well in any machine (they are low sudsing) sustainable, cheap, non toxic, no residue. I get mine by mail order over the net. Best thing is you don’t “have” to make anything up, you can just use them in a bit of supplied netting straight in the machine.. However you can make up a liquid if you want & use it for…[Read more]

It’s a bad year for macadamias. The organic wholesaler has none stating ‘unavailable this season due to poor weather conditions’

It’s a type of wicking system but instead of a medium to hold water you use some sort of container to hold more water. I’m building one in bed form. I’ll try & post some photos when done.
