Can anyone tell me if there is a Yorkshire Linen in the Almeria area? Bouquet

Apart from watering plants any ideas what else I could use this for. It seems such a waste just to throw it away.

For any budding gardeners out there, now is the time to take your cuttings from all your favourite shrubs and herbaceous plants. Climbers are also easy to root from cutting taken at this time of year.

Is there a right or wrong time to cut back this beautiful plant? The reason I ask, we have to paint our rejas and I will need to cut back the plant to get at he window, I am afraid in this heat it may suffer. Bouquet

I heard this one from a neighbour. Keep all the water that collects from your air conditioning unit, use it with a little floor clean for all your floors and apparently it leaves them really shiney. Not tried it yet. Does anyone else have any tips for using up the air con water?

Hi, I am told you need an electrical saftey certificate from the electric board in Almeria (Mojacar) if you want to sell your house. I have some problems with my downstairs electrics and need some work done and have been told (by the electrician) that instead I will need to get the whole house rewired for it to now be legal. Anyone had the same experiences, will I have to swallow the large cost and get everything rewired to be able to get the saftey certificate? Thanks

We have a bit of a problem. One of our neighbours does not appear to be caring for their pool. The problem that we have its now there are alot more mossies and bugs around because of it. We have tried a gentle push in the right direction with them but its not made any difference. Any ideas? Tezcal

As I am prone to suffering power cuts I was thinking of investing in a generator. I have no idea how they work, how long they last before they need refilling. I ahe seen one locally for sale its a 2 kw. Would it actually support using say my washing machine and TV at the same time?
