I presume you mean a link for the square foot gardening?
Just do a search. It will come up with all sorts, and You Tube does some good videos.

Cannot do links on this device (at least *I* can't!). Went to Amazon. Look up poultry housing. Look for the'Cocoon' brand. Then take your pick. Hope that helps.

As part of my current test run, I just converted 3/4 of a bag of coconut banana date mussel with two bar of dark chocolate into some tasty high energy density flap jack sort of thing which will be chopped down into biscuits and individually wrapped in greaseproof paper once cooled, then frozen and then packed in air tight Tupaware. Hopefully yield some tasty high energy snacks with some complex carbs and some fruity vitamins. I will test them out in the fields while walking the dog tommorow.

Sounds lovely, I'd give it a lifespan of less than a day in house though......

My OH will be having major surgery later this month so am doing an early spring clean/painting refresh of the flat. He will be having part of his colon removed due to a fistula and diverticulitis so a temporary bag will be fitted. Today I got paints for bathroom and kitchen and have painted all ceilings. Tomorrow will be the bathroom walls, followed by the panelling then the doors and skirting boards, new sealant round the bath and sink then on to the kitchen walls. Then I will be on to the hall way which needs serious attention. I managed to remove the scrubbable paint by umm scrubbing... :oops: :lol:

Lots of candles on offer at B&Q at the moment so picked up 200 tea lights burn time 4hrs £5 per box!

I'm taking baby steps into solar power so have just got a battery charger (AA & AAA) & a tablet/phone/stuff with a usb charger one which will also charge a small battery for use when it's dark, both of which seem to be happily working propped up inside my double glazing even though it's raining today.
Been trying (& so far failing) to find a solar battery charger that would do C, D & 9V batteries.

I don't have the option of having solar panels put on my (rented) roof so am doing it in dribs & drabs - plus I'd prefer multiple sources of power so that if one breaks the others are hopefully still working.
