I've gotten a wild rabbit living in my garden (and at least one of my neighbours too). I'm guessing somehow he's gotten a bit lost and ended up here because we're across a main road from some fields.

Anyway I have 2 dogs and a cat so its inevitable that Charles the Rabbit will sooner or later be eaten unless I catch him and take him back where he belongs. I'm not quite sure how to do this so plans are welcome, snares won't work because obviously if he gets trapped in the open I'm just going to find the leftover foot or I will just catch one of the dogs because they're not especially intelligent.

Well he has been hanging out for a week now. In that time he has surely been chased (my dogs have stepped up patrols) but doesn't seem to have gotten the message.

Maybe I could blindfold him then drive miles out to some island. If he comes back after that then we've got bigger problems.

I moved into a house with a lawn and a greenhouse and a shed and trees and two bathtubs in the garden, all your typical outdoors stuff. Problem is I don't know how to take care of it. What do I do in order to not embarrass myself by doing things like burning out the neighbour's lawnmower?
How do I garden? What basic tools do I need? The only things in the shed are some bags of fertilizer, white paint and a chainsaw.

I've got one of these and it's ace:

...although if you're strapped for cash just get something second hand off eBay/Gumtree whatever. I'd advise A mower, a strimmer, a decent pair of secateurs and a hoe (no tittering at the back).

Just keep your grass mowed once a week and weed your beds and hoe them over every fortnight to start off with.Trim back what you think is overgrown or cutting out the sunshine with the secateurs. Maybe even get some pots and bedding plants (although I'd do it this weekend before it's too late in the year).Actually, whilst I think about it this is really useful:

I really love gardening - I find it very soothing. Just a nice feeling sitting enjoying a beer in a garden you just made look nice. I have no experience with greenhouses, but I expect you can just keep it clean and rust free (paint it up maybe?) and move onto greenhousing when you get a but better at stuff.

That's great, thanks. I'm not totally strapped, but by the time I can afford that mower the grass will definitely be out of hand and probably just destroy the mower like it did my neighbours one. I really need to go around and offer to pay for it tomorrow, if it's permafucked.

Can you recommend a particular strimmer brand to look for second hand, as that may be the best solution?

At that price you might as well get a cheap or second hand petrol mower, second hand is the way to go if you can make sure it runs. I would break an electric lawnmower in no time, my petrol mower is ancient and I run it over branches, stones, three foot high grass and I've got it stuck on tree stumps, the only thing wrong with it is the self-drive thing doesn't work butI didn't use it anyway. It was left outside unprotected for two years when I thought it was broken, one day I decided to try and fix it, put some petrol and oil in it and it fired up first pull. My point is they last forever, even if you don't look after them so depending on the size of your garden (post a picture) it might be worth the investment.

As for forks and spades, wooden handles are better IMO , but it doesn't really matter what brand, they'll all break eventually, same with loppers, shears etc. If you're buying online just check the reviews and buy the cheapest you can get away with.

Looks like you could pick up a decent second hand strimmer for £20-30:

You will need a grass rake as well though if you are goign to use this on your grass.

Interesting concept. I live in a rural northern town and every weekend I go walking in the countryside round reservoirs and through forests.

In my line of work it's very rare for jobs to be centred outside of London and I could earn a lot more there, yet everytime I go and marvel at how great London is I never quite get the same feeling as when I have a relaxing nature walk at 7am before everybody is up.

I definitely think it helps.

I couldn't agree more.

It helps to put your phone in your pocket and take your earphones out too, even if it's just for ten minutes.

You don't have to limit yourself to enjoying the nature that's already there either: Grow a houseplant. Get a bird-feeder. Buy or make some seed-bombs and throw them in some empty or unused land. There's a saying I heard once, the best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, the second best time is today.

OP here. He is just taking the piss.

Velvet beans contain large amounts of dopamine precursors. I already have a legal prescription for Levodopa, but it is a hassle, and I would like to see if the plants can hold me over at times when I can't fill my prescription. I wouldn't want to eat them all the time, because they seem like quite a witches' brew of neurotransmitters, and I prefer to know what I'm putting in my bloodstream.

Can I ask what you're prescribed Levodopa for? I've consumed a fair few bottles of a supplement with velvet bean extract in it for up to a month at a time with no ill effects that I'm aware of. Then again I'm not sure if it really had any positive effects either.

Supplements are poorly-regulated, and even with reputable brands there's no great guarantee of potency, especially not if it's been sat on a shelf in a hot warehouse for a month.
With a lot of supplements the dose in a single tablet tends to be too low too, simply because packing enough into a single capsule would make it quite hard to swallow.

Lesch-Nyhan syndrome. It is not a common illness or treatment, which is why it's difficult to maintain a prescription.

I heard about velvet beans during some research and assumed they would be quite popular, but it appears they're almost unknown to the DUDE WEED LMAO crowd.

Can you please post some pics of your neighbours yurt, unless it will cause problems. Ask him for any blueprints or similar he may have.

I want to try building one, but small enough for my garden as a replacement for my shed.

I have been looking at designs online, but would be more trusting of something posted here. So far I have been getting distracted by things like yurt furniture and stoves.

Why is England one of the few countries in the world where there isn't any public land where people can hunt, shoot, fish, or camp? Is it just a matter of overpopulation and a lack of land in this country? Scotland is a bit better with its land access rights, but those only extend to camping.

2532 Pennine Way
I am seriously considering walking the Pennine Way.

Does anyone have any experience with this, or a similar scale of walk? Any advice they can offer? I've done smaller scale hikes before, (longest being about 30 miles with sleeping out in what transpired to be a not so waterproof bivi bag in a all night storm, and random camping in mostly backwood conditions for up to a week since I was 8) is 15 days+ going to frustrate me to all hell if it's just rains constantly?

The guy I am try to convince to come with me is made of softer stuff and much less experienced and is poor enough that we would need to be frugal (possibly a tent rather than hostels and huts) is this a bad move?

I'm mostly trying to convince him because 2 weeks on my own might drive me insane and I enjoy his company enough that I think I could stand being with him for that long, and I think good company is harder to find than experience.

Thoughts?

I just, somewhat inexplicably, found a tiny white caterpillar on my keys. I've since put it inside an empty Volvic bottle and I am planning on feeding it leaves until it stops needing to eat leaves and leaves. lol words

Is this (too) weird and should I just dump it in the bin when I next go out? For some reason I think I'd be more or less okay with killing it in an outside bin, just not my kitchen bin.

BTW I don't know what the gif I'm posting is, sorry if it's weird porn.

I found a cabbage white caterpillar on the third floor landing of a tower block and fed it kale until it turned into a butterfly and I let it go. It was cute but it produced prodigious amounts of "frass" which smelt like a cross between cabbage and prawns.

I also found an ailing queen bee in the hallway one unseasonably mild February and took her in and gave her sugar water until she perked up and flew off a couple of days later.
