If I told you that the DE is to debug the chickens that free range through my garden, would you believe me? I wish I could say absolutely that it prevents bugs. Many people say so. I can't with certainty. I think it deters them. But what I am discovering is that DE is also a wonderful addition to building up denuded soil. And ours is. So here's hoping.
Please don't fuss about the photos. I'm teasing - I totally sympathise with your scrollllllllllllllllllllllling. Some people's children ;)
Please share the citrus pickle!!! Sounds delicious. I've never tried morroccan preserved lemons. But with those three buckets of lemons still waiting (and more on the tree) I guess there's no time like the present. Or maybe the day after that.......
Hahah - yep, some people's children! Oh, the pickle - it's so easy! I actually found some pickle spice at the Indian grocers, so it was just a matter of salt, lemons and pickle spice!

and morroccan lemons are even easier, but kinda the same thing without spice!
I can't find my own post for them, but here's one:

I didn't fuss with how she cut the lemons - I just cut them into rough eigthss as they were big lemons and massaged them with salt so the juice runs out, pop them in the jar with the salty juice to cover them (might need a weight) and voila ! Great in couscous! Great sub for olives really, it's that salty taste that we crave sometimes? Tell me if you make them - I usually put peppercorns and bayleaf in mine. They last for ages, and great for chicken, couscous, rice, salads etc (potato salad with preserved lemon and capers? yum)
