    bit of advice needed lads, my tomato plants are turning into bushes, not growing tall and straight! plus my chillie plants are being hammered by, i think whitefly although one of them is flowering. I can get pics up tomorrow if necessary. My little greenhouse is organic only so what should i feed/treat them with that isnt going to cost a fortune? Many Thanks Phil

    wow, well done! no cheeky chinese's on a friday night? i take it you shoot all available game? i dont think i could only manage on meat x2 a week tho, fair play to you helping out with the lambing, thats a good swap for lamb which is quite pricey now i seen your name and remembered your pigs thread, your rearing your own pheasants arent you? my weekly budget for myself is £50 but i refuse to eat readymeals (i dont even own a microwave) or any other processed shit, dairy and wheat dont agree with me so that cuts out some cheap food stuffs but ill munch a kebab at least tw

    ive been following your thread in the gardening section, looks like you put the effort in mate to be honest bud ,my veg patch isnt the biggest ,but it takes a lot of looking after (keeping weeds down ,watering ect) ,and at the moment moment it gives me a lot of pleasure( as a hobby) ,i could in theory extend to 4x the size ,but then that brings other problems ,freezer aint going to be big enough for a start ,then just the work load alone would be so time consuming ,also because of the climate being so unpredictable and having such a short growing season you would be under pressure from

    ive been thinking over this and ive come to the conclusion that the time spent growing veg/fruit, fishing and shooting a range of species would take up nearly a forty hour week, but then how do we pay the rent, electric bills, petrol to travel to permission, spend time with the family etc. I think realistically in the modern world one to two subsidized meals a week is more of a reality? Im surprised at the lack of replies, i thought some of the regular deer stalkers on here would be shooting enough to swap for other game/favours? maybe due to my lack of experience and watching too much ame

    how many of you guys are able to eat (and do) 3-4 meals a week purely from what you have caught, shot or grown and/or trade with others for food stuffs you are lacking in? im asking because ive just started watching 'alaska the last frontier' and its got me thinking how fed up i am paying over the odds for food and Im hoping by winter ill be able to enjoy eating free organic meals ATB

    normally i would fish 6" hooklinks or less but the silt is up to 2ft deep, it just disappears! its not ideal but im more confident that the bait is resting on top of the silt
  15. esoxluscious
    great catch we have nothing even close to that over here, ill give a pellet hookbait go tomorrow on one of the rods, see how it goes

    great tip on the plummet on a different lake i caught regularly on a soft hook pellet fished over the 3mm betaine green pellets however i dont think these tench would have ever seen a hook size pellet, would this be an issue? wouldnt be to keen on corn normally but this is unpressured water and it and maggots are all that have worked but this could be down to nobody looking outside the box
  17. esoxluscious
    the tench on a 3acre pond i fish have just recently woken from their winter sleep, none have been caught yet though. im going to start prebaiting a spot over the next few weeks, ive been using dynamites baits green betaine pellets with corn or maggots, on a running leger with a 18" to 24" braided hooklink and, float fished maggots over a bed of groundbait over the years and had some success, whats everybodys favourite mixes and rigs for a deep silty lake?

    be prepared to pull flys out of your body if your anything like me lol seriously though i started two years ago (coarse fished for 15 years) i still really havent got the knack, had a one on one lesson and a couple of open day lessons which are much cheaper but are group orientated. i was advised but never did to take the fly rod and tie sum wool to the leader and practice on the nearest football field before actually fishing but wheres the fun in that?!
  22. esoxluscious
    too great posts lads, explained alot to me
  23. esoxluscious
    everybody keeps saying this but there has yet to be a break down in the exact diference i.e, manning/training, what can go wrong, what to do etc in a short yet precise post? what makes the gos more appealing to you? what did you do with your harris when you were 'finished' with it?
  24. esoxluscious
    great post accuspell
  25. esoxluscious
    could you explain in more depth why you deem the goshawk not to be a 'beginners bird' what are the direct differences in the manning and training of both the hh and gos?
