Goodies for an Outlander Premiere Party
Since I do not get Starz, I was curious as to what Outlander is. I agree that if there is an interest held by a group this would make an interesting theme.

Living With Garlic Intolerance or Allergy
I have never heard of this before. I thought garlic to be healthy, and in this area it is used in many dishes. I cannot imagine not including it, but for those with problems it is a necessity.

Biochar for Gardeners
Yes, I was thinking of you readers from the dry South West of the USA when I wrote the article. In wet North West England [and gardening a mile from the River Mersey] it is nutrients that I want to retain in the soil.
