The problem with summer is not the heat. It’s the music. Patio doors are thrown open and people migrate their lives to the garden. Naturally most people in the UK don’t have garden-based speakers that might deliver music to where it’s wanted at an appropriate volume, so folk just turn their indoor [...]]]> http://boakes.org/summer-noise-pollution/feed/ http://boakes.org/dydd-dewi-sant-hapus/ http://boakes.org/dydd-dewi-sant-hapus/#comments Wed, 01 Mar 2006 11:56:41 +0000 Rich St Davids Day dydd dewi sant daffodils front garden portsmouth wales welsh national costume http://boakes.org/dydd-dewi-sant-hapus Warning: apache_lookup_uri() [function.apache-lookup-uri]: Unable to include '/pics/2006/dewi-sant/daff' - error finding URI in /home/www/boakes.org/htdocs/mods/plugins/boakes-depicticon.php on line 65
Happy St. David’s Day! Whilst the rest of the country seems to be covered in snow flurries, Portsmouth is intermittently bright and sunny and the daff’s in our front garden have opened just in time.

For over five years now we’ve been actively composting almost 100% of our bio-degradable waste in a small bin that lives in the garden. When I say “we’ve been composting” I really mean it - it’s been a team effort between me, Em, and about ten thousand worms. Vermicomposting is remarkably effective, and because we [...]]]> http://boakes.org/turbo-vermicompost/feed/ http://boakes.org/chickens/ http://boakes.org/chickens/#comments Tue, 17 May 2005 16:51:36 +0000 Rich eglu egloo eggloo egglu igloo imac chicken chickens eggs coop omlet cool http://boakes.org/chickens Warning: apache_lookup_uri() [function.apache-lookup-uri]: Unable to include '/pics/2005/omlet/single' - error finding URI in /home/www/boakes.org/htdocs/mods/plugins/boakes-depicticon.php on line 65
There are some things in life that are just plain cool. Totally bonkers, but cool. This is one such thing, the Eglu, by Omlet. Some call it the iMac for chickens.
