| Interesting but I wouldn't call an increase in weight of 20kg 'miniscule'. Especially if the battery ever has to be changed (not very likely except long term I know) it could be the difference between ... |

| I'm not doing tomatoes this year. With work and not being too well, my gardening is just what I feel I can manage this year. I am hoping to grow peas and mangetout peas in the greenhouse with a couple ... |

| Interesting. I was aware of lichens and their slow growth. There are also mosses and liverworts that are worth investigation. I regret that at present these are beyond my investigations into the flora ... |

| I think all of us agree about needing to use more solar, wind and other really sustainable power, about long term insulation and less polluting vehicles etc. We probably disagree about how we get ther ... |

We heard a cuckoo in the woods the other day; the first we have ever heard. I think it was just passing through, which is good news for the small birds. The blue tits are still inhabiting th ... |

| Apart from accidentally falling down a badger hole in the New Forest when I was out badger watching with a rather poor instructor, I haven't investigated where they live. We don't see our badgers, but ... |

| We are finding our air fryer very useful. We use it instead of the oven for cooking a lot of things. It also suits me because I don't like things fatty, so 'proper' roast potatoes don't appeal to me a ... |

| The trouble with working with wildlife is that, as you say, they can do things you don't want. Examples are having to stop using equipment because a bird has nested in it, mice nesting in my besom mat ... |
