Interesting articles on the many uses of aloe vera for trauma. I've grown this before and it's so easy - very low maintenance indeed. I've also used it for sunburn and cuts - it worked a treat for me.

Re: Aloe Vera
Good link itsy, I also didnt realise you could grow it here....can you grow it outside ?
Re: Aloe Vera
TBH - I grew mine inside, just on a windowsill. I think you would be able to leave it outside during the summer but it needs to be inside or in a greenhouse in the winter. So it really needs to be planted in pots - or something 'portable'. Great stuff, I swear by it.
