Chris Hamilton commented on Pete Russell's group Waiheke Island NZ"Please come get plums from our tree, it's absolutely laden. 64 Ocean Rd, Surfdale (just down from the SPCA). The number's on the letterbox, but ignore the other numbers in the street - they're not very sequential. We're the house…"

My understanding is the bug needs to 'breathe' to…"
Chris Hamilton replied to Jackington's discussion Ginger beer plant in the group Food Growing Q&A"I agree, no need for reserving or adding sultanas when you divide the plant. Also I keep the jar covered with calico & it still works fine once it's going"
Chris Hamilton replied to Jackington's discussion Ginger beer plant in the group Food Growing Q&A"I've never used a plant as described on that page, but have a recipe which uses sultanas to start the ferment - you leave it for a few days & then feed sugar & ginger each day - this is the 'plant'.

Chris Hamilton commented on Janet Luke's group Poultry in Urbania"still don't go making a huge omelette without doing a sniff test on each egg - I reckon eggs have to be eggstremely rotten to fail the float/ no float. It takes ages (like weeks & weeks & weeks this time of year) for eggs to go…"

- Thanks Chris. The next bug will be ready to leave home on the 21st. I think I've attached the cake bug instructions here. I re-wrote them because the old instructions meant you had 3 cake bugs to give away each month!
