    Let me introduce you to my new friend Agnes..

    I am up for the big 60th birthday late this year. I have always wanted one of these dogs, Scots Terrier. My wife had the white versions, "Westhighland Terrier's" for about 20yrs so my choice was put on the back burner. 10 yrs back at my 50th party, someone asked what I was hoping to get, and I...

    Turin: advice on Horticulture. No1.

    Turin: I am a Hydroponic Herb Grower. My operation is nowhere near a large as the one you work for. Because I only have 8,000m2 of land (2 acres) I have managed to condense my growing area to about 2,500m2. Had I done it the ?normal way? the growing area would cover about 27,000m2. So it is...

    Don't know if anyone else has notice this point, but of late, the quality of the threads posted has improved....out of sight. I do know that several members have left for another forum as I believe they may have become tired of the endless political bashings that were going on. I for one have...

    I took your advice and purchased a Test Kit for e-coli and other bacteria in water. Took me a week or two to sift thru the info and get a clear picture of what to do etc. and of course who to buy it off. Found a Lab in Melbourne off the internet (only one with the nuts to state a price), rang...

    This is what I have done to date. Pumped up 28,000 litres from the dam, (thru a screen filter on the dam inlet.....in front of the foot valve). Screen filter definitely gets out all the bug/solids etc. Water is very red from dissolved clay. Nothing else in it. Bought a DE filter. It dosn't...
