Re: Compost Bins

Although I'm sorry I can't help with locating a bin, I offer the following related info. I have been composting since the early seventies, to be as organic as posssible for vegetable growing. I have always built my own wooden bins with whatever was to hand. The bigger the better- more heat generated...

Re: rent-to-own by KEDEPIS

If you haven't already tried, you could place your query on "Cyprus Property Forum", which is run by Nigel Howarth.
He is extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of Cyprus property, and very experienced. Also you might get some feedback from other interested forum members.
Good luck,
Jon.

Re: UFOs !

Thank you Ams for excellent picture. Were you familiar with this aircraft prior to it landing near you, or if it was unfamiliar, were you surprised?

Re: UFOs !

Fair point, but I understand the word "thread" to imply the scope for some deviation from the original topic. Perhaps the rules need tightening- it seems to be very fashionable to curtail free speech!!

Re: UFOs !

Further to last post, have just seen and read the article in CM where the "humanitarian" nature of the exercise is emphasised. Whenever the US needs to deflect the populace from domestic woes it kindles a proxy war- I believe the total since 1945 is now around seventy. The usual reason giv...

UFOs !

Over the past few weeks there have been quite a few flypasts by a pair of fast moving powerful sounding turbo-prop aircraft with twin tails. Completely unfamiliar to me, they have an almost drone-like appearance seen from Lofos, with very large props mounted unusually high. I tried to find out about...

Re: Horse, Goat, or Cow Manure Needed Please.

Thank you to Sadie and Jimgym- I will contact Donna, and hopefully get my hands on some lovely well rotted manure!!
If any other members have further suggestions, I'd be grateful, as I need quite a bit. I do make a lot of compost, but it's never enough....

Horse, Goat, or Cow Manure Needed Please.

Do any members know of/or can recommend a source of any of the above, e.g., riding stables, goat farm, donkey farm etc? Have expanded my vegetable growing ops., and find the soil is very "hungry" needing large amounts of organic matter- also I strive to keep it as natural as possible. Any ...

Without wishing to be aeronautically pedantic, Devil; with reference to your earlier saga when two engines failed on your DC3, you would require more than a bulletin from the captain. The DC3 unfortunately only possesses two engines...

Re: volcanic eruption in Iceland.

Good evening Devil I would have imagined that you know all about hot sulfurous gases in the realms you inhabit! Seriously, tho' I believe that dust is the engine-killer. I have never forgotten the attached tale which I read in the 1980's recounting the event when a 747 lost all four engines after pa...
