I have 2 drum/barrell black plastic compost bins for the ash from the combustion wood fire we have and the dog poo. Another one my DH built with wood sides for the scraps the chooks and the dog and the worm farm won't eat. We have 5 massive eaters here so lots of peelings and the worms can't...

Here are some rhubarb recipes fro a site I use all the time when I have a left over ingrediant I just type in in and get a ton of recipes. http://www.taste.com.au/recipes/search.php?keywords=rhubarb&publication=

I think youv all done so well, it's brilliant and very encouraging that breastfeeding is the norm over there too. I like that Blisstree website, I got stuck in there reading about breastfeeding for a while. I like the wraps too but I would of got tangled in them I think. I love the idea of...

I am busy enough for me as my hubby works 4 days on 4 days off, he travels and stays down in Mebourne on the 4 days on so I cannot work then as I have one child not at school. So I book clients in for the 4 days off times. The eldest is 10, then 7 and a just turned 4 year old - all boys! They...

I hope this isn't too full on as Iv only been here a few days! But, I am a bit over having a few days of spotting before my period and my cycle is only 24-26 days so I thought I'd take some Vitex Angus Castus (chasteberry) see if it could regulate it a bit. Now it's vanished :rolleyes: It's...

Have fun with my spelling, what's incorrect spelling in the USA can be correct where I live :D.

Yes, I don't see why not :). Well I will fess up as you all can go euwwww in the background. My first child I feed until 2 years, he really was over it by then so was I, the second fed until 19 months, he was actually a terrible feeder we had many problems with it, number 3 turned 4 yesterday...

Sorry this isn't really a homeschooling question but I wasn't sure where else to put it! Do many of the schools over where you live have vegie gardens and a few chooks for the children to learn about where our food comes from? Many of the schools here do have this wonderful thing but not the...

That is exciting so many MT's! I am also able to practise in Canada as we have an agreement with their governing body of massage, here it's the AAMT (Australian Association of Massage Therapists). I am hoping one day to become more specialised in teaching baby massage but at the moment most of...

:lau YES! A chook is a chicken. We mostly call them chooks over here. Australians are notorius for using slang words, it's a bit of a habit I'm afraid.

Well done that is a fantastic effort!! Some are discret some not here. It is actually against the law to discriminate in any way if someone is breastfeeding anywhere a child can be a Mum can be feeding. Which is a big step forward. Except in Western Australia, they are a little behind over...

We have a tank that all the washing water gets pumped into, can't use the blackwater (sink) as it's too greasy, anyway the tank is underground and DH has hooked up a pump to it and a spinkler system we water the whole garden with it and it does stink but only while it's watering and we do it all...

We have a 500 litre water tank Which I am assuming is a barrell for the greywater, a 1000 tank out the front for the pots, a 7,000 tank out the back yard and 2 more 5,000 tanks that when the 7,000 tank gets full they get pumped into these. My DH wants to get more :ep we get a huge rebate here...

Wow all these gun stories! So different over here, very hard to get a gun license and I am fairly certain the only place you can shoot is on a farmers property with their permission, you can possibly get a permit in the forest, but not sure on that, very, very few people have guns here.

My dreams were to have a family, chooks, a vegie garden and be somewhat self sufficient, live in the country and be fit and healthy. I met my firefighter hubby at 26 and we now have 3 mostly lovely boys. We moved to the Country for hubbies work, now he works back in the city and commutes :/...

I am in a town of about 100,000 Karan, and about 2.5 kms out of town, but another kilometre and your in the Country so I am kind of on the edge but with the benifits of being able to ride into town. Ballarat is the largest regional town in Victoria and about 1.5 hours drive to Melbourne. I also...

Hope this isn't out of depth for this forum, but figure with breastfeeding being a natural and pretty SS thing it won't be?? Just wondering what the average age babies are fed for over in the USA also do you have any laws about feeding? I know England has some weird ones :/. Australia is a...

I think I would experiance these emotions daily, I am a pretty happy person. Humour would best decribe what gets me through living with 3 boys and DH though :ep. I have a 10 year old though, who lets me not forget what anger is too :somad but my adorable 4 year old I think I called him a 3...

Yay! People are waking up, just as I go have a shower and get ready for bed! :hit 3 hours until the 15th June here now.

Hi Karan, no we don't have windfarm available to us here but many people are switching to solar power and selling back to the grid. The financial outlay is still quiet large though and we were not in a position to get it. I have raised vegie beds, and 12 fruit trees in the paddock, we use...
