    pests Aphids came in with plants

    get down to the garden shop & get some NEEM. Its non toxic & a little goes a long way. Also keep an eye out for ants running up & down the plant - they farm the little critters like cattle.

    Aphid problem, anyone use Neem 2?

    Neem is great & using every few days until they die down wont hurt the plant. Something to look out for is ants - they clip the wings off the aphids & treat them like cattle. Take out the ants as well as using neem & your aphid infestation should reduce dramatically.

    Landshare

    I remember watching the River Cottage series where they started this. Was amazing to see what can happen with a little cooperation. Only difference there to here was that they had housing complexes overlooking the land to spot the half-wits who like to break things - also they don't have a...

    Corned Beef

    Sorry, I don't get that involved. Just cook it, wrap it & eat it. I wouldn't reduce the time any - I don't always get the same size but 2 hours covered in boiling water will cook most things through (& keep them moist). Maybe try 2 hours to start with & adjust to your taste. That would be way...

    Yeah the 'ghost pepper' tag can refer to many things ATM. From my understanding Jolokia is pepper in their language. Bih & Bhut mean ghost either in the mountain language or the plains language (they are slightly different peppers). Not so far off topic as we're discussing what can be meant by...
