Works for me.
And Charlotte, you need no salad growing tips. You’ve graduated! Grow on.
And thanks for the link to Indira Naidoo’s blog. (I’m growing a native Aussie water fern called Nardoo in my potted water garden, and I’ve named the plant Indira).

Will be watching your salady balcony yield with interest (btw did you know Indira Naidoo of SBS news fame has a blog about her edible balcony garden? It’s here – http://saucyonion.blogspot.com/2009/11/edible-balcony-vegie-update.html)

And I will be looking out for the real deal raspberry vinegar. Off to check your links now.

I have failed miserably on one or two prior occassions, by being too distracted to keep up the regular watering, I have just invested in a water system call wet pots which is a gravity fed system (we have no water on our balcony), using these little terra cotta pod things which let the water slowly seep into the soil.

Re the rasberry vinegar – by an amazing coincidence I was in the Southern Highlands recently & made sure I went to the farm where my special RV is grown and produced. What makes this one so special is that a lot of the rasberry vinegars you can buy are a mixture of ordinary vinegar and rasberry juice. Whereas this one is distilled? from the actual rasberries. It’s so beautifully syrupy you could be tempted to use on icecream, although I did also buy their rasberry topping which is scrumptious. They haven’t got any distribution outlets yet so I bought up big while I was there to give as christmas pressie to my family. http://www.montroseberryfarm.com.au

Charlotte your 3 to 1 ratio vinegar to oil is what I usually do although sometimes I’ve done 2 to 1 and that works as well.
