I'm gonna try some stuff this year thebishman. I grow a lot of strawberries aimed at eating on the spot and freezing. The processing of freezing turns the strawbs into a dense syrup apart from frozen strawbs. Add to PG/VG and go?

Jam processing is similar

That will likely work with other stuff

oooo-er, didn't see that either?

There's another one near you then thebishman...on top of Beachy Head more or less opposite the old cafe that might be there still? Beachy Head Radar. Go up there and wonder about the big hole under your feet?

Th last radar head there was this: (dismantled late 50's I think?)

I did similar to yourself lobeydosser last year with 2 raised beds at half the height of yours. I dug down somewhat. I'm just south of Brum. Its a costly business alright..for not a lot. Very interesting though. I have the same greenhouse.

I discounted root crops...takes too long. So its small veg, toms, strawbs, flowers and herbs.

I goto the local stables for free rotted manure, so no big composters which is another long job. Recycle via tub composter using tiger worms...which often arrive with the manure.

Bees...the honey bees were late last year, so tickling stick it was. I now raise leaf cutter bees that do more local work than honey bees and are much less aggro. They don't want my beer/wine either. I don't want honey and stung!

I am about the same age as you without any war/wear out wounds...at the moment!

Watch out...its now vine weevil time.

Not yet. It often pays to have all screwdrivers magnetized and a big magnet to wave around the floor/carpet. Take any large loudspeaker and wreck it?

I have a Sony Xperia T droid which I don't browse with (and its camera is crap). So have not experienced virus or malware. Plenty of apps on it though. However, the clear up procedure appears to be this:

If you believe you already have a virus on your Android phone - perhaps one that is resisting your attempts to uninstall the associated app or even let you bypass the lock screen - a factory reset will remove it, returning your device to its out-of-the-box state. But doing so also means you'll lose everything on your phone that's not backed up.

The bolded bit tells me that if you have backed up and that has the virus (whatever), as with PC's when you restore your backup...back comes the virus/malware.

So, to be sure..you likely need to run your droid without any apps from an external source to see what happens. If ok with the standard (factory) configuration add apps one by one and check behaviour of each one. A slow job I'd say.
