Alcatel 20.12 – it just gets better

oooh – chocolate covered Alcatel Onetouch!

My 20.10 Alcatel bit the dust all of a sudden, after 18 months of service – but loving the replacement – again just £40 from Argos

Re-equipped the phone with ringtones (place into a folder when in mass usb mode and you can pick it up from profiles)

Join the magical world of propogation with ‘the daddy’ of plant incubators!

Here it is, the Vitopod. This thing will seriously change your gardening life!…I’ve bought the ‘small’ version – and this still massive pretty big in terms of the amount you can germinate at anyone time. Recommend buying at least one extra ‘layer’, so that there is more ‘breathing space’ to let the thing cool down if it gets too hot, and more room to grow stuff. I’ve bought 2 extra layers – the 3rd storey will be useful for over-wintering anything delicate. Next step…growing all those seeds which say ‘keep at 20 degrees’…
