Rutile is a form of Titanium ore with Iron deposits and is used in pottery to create brown, orange and yellow colours in pottery glazes. Rutile is also used to create beautiful speckled effects in glazes.However, there are some issues with the global Rutile mining industry, such as high energy consumption and the displacement of people from land, in order to mine Rutile.If you didn't want to use Rutile in your pottery, there are alternatives to using Rutile in glazes! Plant ashes (particularly ash from fallen leaves), for example, often create rutile-looking pottery glazes. Here are 4 of my favourite eco-conscious Rutile-like pottery glaze recipes.

It's been a weird winter – cool and often wet. Indeed, I grew a few edibles in my tunnel house after most of the tomatoes had been removed. With rubbish weather I tend to divert to bird hobbies, rather than vegie-garden maintenance. But in early August things become a bit more positive, and today that was highlighted when I visited my old mate Mike (a Scottish builder with heaps of Scottish humour). He had already planted small strawberry plants under a cover of dense pea-straw – yes, next summer's fruit extravaganza: STRAWBERRIES! New Zealand Gardener usually gives you the latest varieties available. I had totally forgotten that I could have planted them a month or so ago, here on the port hills! Time to become a lot less lazy! Friable, well-draining soil with heaps of organic material in the top layers. Some granular, general fertiliser (not too much – just a bit) so that the roots will lick their food on the warmer, early-Spring days. The pea-straw (and mulch) protects plants from heavy frosts (and later on as a medium on which the developing fruit will stay in dryer conditions – not on wet soil). Go to your local garden centre and ask the local experts what kind of strawberry varieties work well in your neighbourhood – I bet they'll have Cama Rosa and Camino Real as their “short day” varieties (they can be planted in May-June). Other varieties, such as Aromas, Seascape, and San Andreas are day-neutral and can be planted in spring. While the strawberries are slowly getting in their winter development, it may be useful to take a look at your rhubarb. This plant tends to be reasonably tolerant of a bit of frost – if the frosts are heavy and mean, you might find that patience will be a good virtue. I saw it growing in Mongolia in the wild (permafrost), in the deserts (dry as a bone), with big weta-like critters hiding underneath! It's a great crop if you're into crumbles and fruity bits for breakfast (with muesli and yoghurt and soaked sultanas) and stuff like rhubarb pies. In good hot summers it might take a break in the hottest period of the year. In the North/hot areas, it may pay to allocate a cooler spot and some shade for the warmest period of the day to stop it “bolting” – the flower stalks can be broken off, the edges of the leaves can become beautifully red, but it's a sign of the breakdown of chlorophyll and hence the beginning of summer die-back. Rhubarb requires a nice, fertile free-draining soil, so if you've got heavy clay soil break it up and add heaps of compost to make it friable. Alternatively: plant it above the soil level (in a raised bed). I reckon you can even grow it in a big container with good mix, but keep it watered, so it doesn't dry out too much. Fertiliser: rhubarb loves compost and manure (yes, some rotted cow poo/sheep/pig or horse – preferably gone through a composting cycle). Keep the plant base free of weeds. Pests and diseases are usually of no great concern – slugs and snails are your main problem and they will only go on the leaves. Copper sprays may prevent leaf-spots, but they're not a big deal usually. Harvest: cut the stems for consumption and use leaves in compost bins (all good – the oxalic acid is not going to harm anything in that bin!). Alternatively, the large leaves are great on the ground as “weed mat”. Look around for various cultivars – if you are lucky you might find some of the old-fashioned bright red varieties that look fantastic: Moulin Rouge, Crimson Crumble, Cherry Red, Ruby Red, Glaskin's Perpetual… LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of Canicross Conversations, hosts Michelle and Louise chat to guest Ryan McKee about the world of bikejor. Ryan shares how he was first an ultra‑endurance mountain biker, taking a break from the sport due to burnout. His love for mountain biking reignited after adopting Rhubarb, their enthusiastic Hungarian Vizsla. What started as a behavioural solution evolved into competitive fun as the pair discovered canicross and then bikejor. Ryan describes his first bikejor race in Chepstow, talking about his preparation, race‑day experience, and how Rhubarb's natural instincts helped them excel beyond expectations. From harness training and on‑trail communication to adapting fitness regimes and handling pre‑race nervous energy, Ryan talks us through the world of bikejor racing. Whether you're curious about getting involved or seeking inspiration to rekindle your fitness with your dog, this episode offers real‑life advice, amusing mishaps and heartfelt reflections. It sets a reassuring tone for beginners and reminds seasoned competitors why fun and connection matter more than winning. We cover: Introduction to Ryan and his mountain‑biking background How Rhubarb became his training partner First experience in canicross Motivation to move into bikejor Introduction to bikejor gear and harness safety How dog‑pull enhances bike traction and speed Pre-race preparation and warm‑up tactics Race event recap at Chepstow (NATB) Race‑day dynamics: overtaking, direction calls Finish results & reflecting on mindset Training takeaways post‑race Balancing dog's fitness with self‑training Discussion: should dogs follow structured training plans? Fun rapid‑fire questions Key takeaways Introduce bikejor gradually; begin with canicross to build trust and communication. Harness sports can reveal and address dog behavioural issues. Bikejor enhances traction and fun, similar to e‑bike assistance. Direction cues (e.g. “left”, “right”) are crucial on technical courses. Partner motivation outweighs finishing position—dog‑led enjoyment matters most. Training both human and dog should focus on the weaker link first. Small, experienced‑led groups work best for beginners. Dogs don't know race length—they'll give 100 % regardless. Our favourite quotes from the episode “It feels like you're on rails when you go around the corner.” (Ryan) “It doesn't matter whether you came first or last… you can see in her face she's had the best time ever.” (Ryan) “The thing that helped me most was running with someone experienced—but not a big group.” (Ryan) “Dogs don't know how far they're racing… they're just there to give it their all.” (Ryan) Links Ryan's Instagram page @scenicroute.adventures Nonstop dog-wear NATB dog sports events Episode 161 with Sarah on her first canicross race

Looking for a sign that spring has finally settled in? For many, it’s the arrival of rhubarb — that bright red, tart stalk that finds its way into everything from pies to sauces. At farms across Wisconsin, rhubarb season is in full swing, and one farm in particular is seeing their best crop yet. Ed Bures, owner of the farm, says this year’s rhubarb is some of the best he’s grown in 25 years. “We’ve probably got 1,000 pounds of rhubarb out there,” he says. “It’s the best-looking rhubarb I’ve ever had.” Each of their 200 rhubarb plants is grown on raised mounds, spaced about three feet apart. The plants are irrigated regularly and were originally transplanted from an organic farm nearby. “We added compost and horse manure when we planted,” Bures explains. “It helped them get well-established.” This season’s cooler temperatures have helped the rhubarb grow without stress. “Cool springs are great for early crops like rhubarb,” he says. “We’ve also seen very few insects, which makes a big difference.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this weeks veg grower podcast Richard shares the latest from his allotment including more straw bail gardening and mulching. Richard also visits Stephens allotment and hear the latest from Richards kitchen Garden. Allotment update: Using more straw Down on Richards allotment Richard has been investing a lot into straw. Using straw bail gardening in a metal raised planter that would cost a fortune to fill wiht compost, might be an easy solution. But Richard has also used straw to mulch his potatoes. One of the most important things Richard believes anyone can do with there allotment is to mulch. Mulching feeds the soil, suppresses weeds and reduces watering. All of which saves the gardener time and resources. Stephens allotment Its been a few years since we last visited Stephens allotment but this week Richard has visited Stephen on his small allotment to find out how his allotment is getting on and how productive it has been.

Also, Adam has capped my research at 5,000 words per episode as I struggle with stopping anything. Therefore, we are discussing some poisons that can be found in the vegetable gardens around the world. Rhubarb leaves, solanine in potatoes (at least those not stored properly), Cassava, ginkgo biloba seeds, cashews, and more. We have some fun (and some more tragic) stories behind each of these as well as the history and folklore of their growth and use. For instance, we need to talk about that time in WWI when the British government encouraged their citizens to eat rhubarb leaves while food was scarce or why it is not okay to munch on houseplants (I hope we all knew that one, but hey, make sure they are out of reach of children or pets if toxic).How about the guy who worked hard to make the potato popular in France? Did you know potatoes were actually once banned there because it was believed they could cause leprosy or plague? Well, obviously they do not, but when green they can make you very sick.Cassava! It is a staple crop in parts of South America and in Africa, but when not processed correctly, it can be deadly as they contain cyanogenic glycosides. So how do so many people eat it? And have there been any recent cases of poisoning from cassava? Unfortunately, yes.Have you ever seen a cashew tree or its fruit? A story from the Philippines gives a fun explanation for why it looks the way it does. Also, before being processed for eating, they are also poisonous, covered with the same substance that causes the itchy reaction when you touch poison ivy.How about a story concerning the six Gingko trees that survived the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and how their seeds can still cause accidental poisonings today. Also, that Ginkgo leaf extract some people are taking? According to some recent studies, it may not even be helpful. Let's talk about it!Thank you to all of our listeners and supporters!

In this episode we welcome the springtime with no delay. We feel it like a dream come true. The feeling of being lucky in the sun, it's a wild one, and momentarily the void and the unstable condition seem to be in a suite for the invisible. I DM you that it's a lonely fight. Again and again, we dive into it, like it was water, something blue. So many new sounds and known sounds and fine sounds. The taste of rhubarb is developing as we speak. So lean back, take a deep breath and let me play you some of that saving and escaping music that you crave. Like a bath in the sun. Welcome to the anticipation of care in April.

For this Animation Weekend, AKAPAD The Film Buff dives into an overlooked Paramount+ animated series—ARK: The Animated Series. This show impressed Peter so much that he had to bump today's scheduled release to make room for this discussion. We're often told to seek out what's new and what's good—ARK: The Animated Series is both. Beyond the show itself, this episode also explores a larger question: Why isn't there more dinosaur-driven storytelling in today's marketplace? *** Producers note*** AKAPAD recoreded this episode with very little sleep, so at time he rambles. Those who brought us The Ark The Animated series. Main Voice Cast Madeleine Madden – Helena Walker Michelle Yeoh – Meiyin Li Gerard Butler – General Gaius Marcellus Nerva David Tennant – Sir Edmund Rockwell Zahn McClarnon – John / Thunder Comes Charging Devery Jacobs – Alasie Jeffrey Wright – Henry Townsend Recurring and Guest Roles Dee Bradley Baker – Dodo, Scary, Rhubarb, Monkey Juliet Mills – Chava Tonantzin Carmelo – Zitkala Cissy Jones – Gladiatrix Armen Taylor – Randall Wallace Russell Crowe – Kor the Prophet Vin Diesel – Santiago Karl Urban – Bob Elliot Page – Victoria Walker Deborah Mailman – Deborah Walker Tatanka Means – Mato Malcolm McDowell – Senator Lucius Cassius Virilis Alan Tudyk – The Captain Monica Bellucci – Cassia Virila Production Crew Directors: Jay Oliva, David Hartman, Chase Conley, Sebastian Montes, Jeremy Stieglitz Producers: Vin Diesel, Gerard Butler, Jeremy Stieglitz, Jesse Rapczak, Alan Siegel, Doug Kennedy Writers: Marguerite Bennett, Kendall Deacon Davis Composer: Gareth Coker A little bit more about The Ark The Animateed Series ARK: THE ANIMATED SERIES Alright, nerds and dino-fanatics, buckle up because ARK: The Animated Series is here to rip through your TV screen like a raptor in a meat locker! Based on the massively popular survival game, this show is a high-octane, time-bending thrill ride that asks one simple question: What if history's greatest warriors, scientists, and survivors all woke up in a prehistoric nightmare—together? Enter Helena Walker, a 21st-century paleontologist who finds herself resurrected on a savage world where dinosaurs roam, warlords rule, and survival is anything but guaranteed. With no memory of how she got there, Helena has to adapt fast, forming uneasy alliances with warriors from different eras—think samurai, Vikings, and futuristic soldiers—all while fending off the ruthless General Nerva and the sinister alchemist Sir Edmund Rockwell. Oh, and did we mention Vin Diesel is in this? Because Vin Diesel is in this. It's Jurassic Park meets Conan the Barbarian, with a dash of Lost and a whole lot of dino-fueled action. The animation? Slick. The battles? Brutal. The stakes? Nothing short of survival itself. And with a voice cast stacked with Hollywood heavyweights like Michelle Yeoh, David Tennant, Gerard Butler, and, yeah, Vin freakin' Diesel, this is one prehistoric epic you don't want to sleep on. So sharpen your spears, mount your T-Rex, and prepare for war—because ARK: The Animated Series is coming for your eyeballs!
The UK has set a pesticide reduction target of 10% over the next five years. The UK Pesticides National Action Plan from all four UK governments says it will support farmers and growers to reduce the potential harm from pesticides, so rather than farmers using 10% less, the plan wants more sustainable use which reduces the impact on the environment by 10%. While environmental groups have welcomed the plan they describe the target as modest. The government says that UK farmers reduced pesticide use by 60% between 1990 and 2020, at the same time worldwide use in agriculture increased by 90%. We speak to the Nature Friendly Farming Network.Every year we consume nearly 12 billion eggs in the UK, according to the egg industry, with the vast majority produced in this country. All week we're looking at eggs, from colony cages to free range.

A: Forced Rhubarb. Supermarket sales of the crop are surging. The majority of it comes from a small area of West Yorkshire known as the rhubarb triangle, we meet a fourth generation grower near Leeds.Presenter = Charlotte Smith Producer = Rebecca Rooney

Nick and Angela welcome their first guest of series 7 to Dish HQ. Legendary actor, comedian, writer and producer Steve Coogan was born in Lancashire. His career began on Spitting Image in the 80s, and he is most celebrated for his portrayal of the iconic Alan Partridge. He has earned critical acclaim for roles in Philomena, Stan & Ollie and The Reckoning, in which he played Jimmy Savile, and is back on the West End stage after a 28-year hiatus for a sold-out run of Dr Strangelove. His new Channel 4 drama, Brian and Maggie, is out now. Nick mixes a non-alcoholic Mother Root for Steve, while Angela prepares one his favourite meals, a potato, cheese & onion pie. The experts at Waitrose pair this with a Le Arenarie Vermentino di Gallura. For dessert, our trio tuck into a rhubarb & pear crumble. Steve Coogan gives some hilarious insights into his cult show The Trip with Rob Brydon, sharing a great story about Anna Wintour.
