Hola! Amigo. Welcome to the Forum, I am moving to Spain soon so you will probably be asking the same things I will need to know!

I use Provado Ultimate Bug Killer it works really well for about 6 weeks, although I think I read somewhere you shouldn't use it more than twice if the plant is edible.

Yes it is pretty remote, it is a little place called Ramil Bajo in Andalucia Spain. The problem is the neighbour is THE neighbour, when we move in we double the number of occupied properties! I dont want to upset him, especially as my Spanish is at the basic end of rudimentary at the moment. I...

This thread inspired me to look for some CI pots here, I found a Lodge 12" dutch pot for only $180 (US) I am seriously thinking of visiting the USA for my next holiday, do some serious shopping and have it shipped home.

Sadly he seems to have little control over them, he just takes them out to get free food in the countryside. When we viewed the house I found remains of Goats in the garden, and even one body in the house! However there is one plus, there is a large quantity of droppings to be had that will help...

As much as I didn't believe it would happen, I really hoped you guys would say they don't like the taste! Looks like I am going to have to grow a hedge around the property. I haven't moved in yet because it needs a lot of work done, so there is another thing on the list. Does anyone have any...

My neighbour walks his Goats past my new house twice a day, and I wondered if they are going to be a pest. I understand they will eat almost anything, but I don't know if chilli is on their preferred list?

I posted a picture of my last batch, look for the thread "Habanero jelly" in the test kitchen bit of the forum. I should have expanded on my first answer, as the water boils off the temperature rises. The temperature determines the degree of set in the product. If you continue to cook it you...

This happened to me once, I answered the phone instead of watching the jam. I solved it by mixing in some lemon juice.

I would suggest that anyone interested in this subject,for educational reasons, looks at yahoo groups new_distillers I have really learnt a lot from it, and have even built a still that purifies water!!! I even considered moving to New Zealand where I could use my still to make alcohol.

I bought some coffea arabica seeds out of curiosity, I waited 9 months for one out of three to germinate. if you think Thailand is tough, you want to try the UK !!! Currently my bush is about 35mm tall, but I dont hold out much hope of it surviving the winter, even indoors. I was told that I...

What you Americans and some Canadians call Cider is just unfiltered apple juice (thanks wikipedia!) what we call cider is what you call hard cider and the Germans call it Apfelwein. I don't disagree with you, it is just a matter of regional names. If you use juice from the supermarket it...

I have a small quantity of these to send out (100). I would like to put them in packets of 5 and send them out until they are all gone. They are fresh now and will stay viable for a couple of months. The fruit looks like a pear with a white creamy flesh, a thin yellowish edible skin and small...

While I was looking for something else I came across a digital P H tester for about £12. Just wondering if they might be any good. Stated use was for fish ponds or swimming pools. Sorry not sure how to post a link, but a search fo P H tester will find em.

UPDATE I just tried my last batch. I used 12 eggs, 5 Scotch Bonnet and 5 Naga Morich. Absolutely the best I ever made. My gums were burning before I had bitten all the way through. A really good whole mouth heat but I could still taste the fruitiness of the chilli and the egg. Only problem is I...

To get the seeds out, get a big bowl of water and mash the flesh with your hands. Keep breaking up the little bits until the seeds have all come out. The good seeds will all fall to the bottom, so what I do is pour out the water through a sieve to remove the flesh, stopping before the seeds...

Hi,fellow kentish man, or are you a man of Kent? I have had success with simply chopping and pickling, or see my recipe for chilli Jelly (jam) I also freeze quite a few to sprinkle onto Pizza. I am working on a cheap drier design which I will post on here when I am finished. It will be easy to...

Hi, and welcome from the UK. I know what you mean about your camera, I have had to rely on my phone to post pictures.
