Hi, I'm wondering if there's a UK version of the gamma lid that the American preppers talk about, but perhaps with a different name that I can Google? You can get the gamma lids in the UK for food storage, but they're quite expensive! Does anyone know of a UK version, or alternatively a good supplie...

There's some great suggestions here for a comprehensive home first aid kit. The only things I can think to add right now are items to take care of your feet e.g. anti-fungal cream/powder, blister plasters. I also keep steri-strips in mine, I don't think they've been mentioned but might have missed i...

If it makes you feel any better, I watched that same video and I'm sure the cast iron skillet was actually a fiver *tries to help

I've got 2 under 5s, and just in case anyone reading this is worried about them, I definitely don't raise my kids in a fearful, 'doom in upon us' sort of household. However preparedness is seen as a generally positive attribute here, and my eldest knows we rarely run out of things as mum and dad usu...

Thanks both for your suggestions. I used some bamboo sticks as a temporary measure as I had some to hand, thinking when that bed is planted up it will be much less roomy and inviting to go toilet in. However in what can only have been an act of revenge, the cat has returned and relieved itself (no. ...

Had a kind of funny, kind of annoying experience in my tiny garden today. I planted out some perpetual spinach yesterday, but when I went out this morning 3 of the 4 plants had gone! I could see a few bits of leaf poking out the soil a bit away from where I'd planted them and assumed something had b...

I'm definitely in the 'store what you eat, eat what you store' camp when it comes to our food preps, and I like to eat well! However a lot of our meals consist of a mix of store cupboard items and fresh stuff e.g. spag bol or chilli made with dried soya mince (pescatarians here, large stock of tinne...

A little update on my tine garden... I realised I'd forgotten to update when I planted my herbs. I planted them out last weekend, so in little pots on my tiered plant stand I now have: Thyme, spearmint, lemon balm, chives, lemon thyme, black peppermint, sage, rosemary, coriander, chamomile, curled p...

Thanks for this Jansman, I'm going to have to rig something up tomorrow to try to save my plants. I was thinking a frame made out of bamboo canes with some tarp draped over it and pegged to keep it in place, does that sound adequate? Or would fleece blankets be better than tarp? I've got a couple th...

Forge I was in the local sells everything shop near me today having a mooch round the plants, saw an extremely sad, droopy looking tomato plant all on it's own with a 99p sticker on it. Me and the toddler agreed that for 99p we really should be giving it a home and some TLC. Looked a bit closer and ...
