Virii ? are highly susceptible to heat. ("Viruses": the Latin original seems to have been uncountable, so we're free to use our native form for the plural. Back when these organisms were discovered, they probably also reflected that "viri" would also mean "men") Ash should be harmless; but butts should go in the bin, as I understand they're what might conceivably carry the virus, especially to tomatoes, peppers, and aubergines. The paper to which Stewart referred, about the rose family, adds another layer of concern. -- Mike. |

[...] I'd rather use banana skins! -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon I have difficulty in lighting them, even then they're not a nice smoke anyway. Bill Lol! I'll take your word for that, Bill! We watched an old Heston Blumenthal programme on Belgian TV this week. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b008bylh In the programme he smoked salmon in a pile of burning straw that he put in a squirrel trap. Anybody in his right mind would have smoked the salmon in a closed tin using oak saw dust. Those who tried to smoke straw behind the school bike sheds can imagine the result. Blumenthal should go to Iceland. There, I tried two kinds of smoked salmon: one was very good, but conventional. The other tasted as though it had been smoked over a fire of slow-burning sheep-droppings. This was because it had been smoked over a fire of slow-burning sheep-droppings. I wasn't offered any smoked puffin -- an apt name, it only now occurs to me. -- Mike. |
