I wanna add that there seems to always be sugar in that mixture?

The ones I made in the past were really good, but I feel there is a whole world of possibilities out there. Hmm, peach and something relish. Jay mentioned green tomato relish. Yum!

Post here if you make some that you really love.

This time of year, with all the abundance from the garden, I am looking for new to me ways to use all this goodness.

Thank you for taking the time to do this!

I love this recipe. I make it with a quart jar, but it's just as good in a can or jar. It's so versatile!

I like to put the vinegar mixture in a bowl, then add the onions and garlic and toss until well combined. Then I add my cucumbers, tomatoes, cilantro and green onions.

I like to use this mix up for sides or as an appetizer before dinner!

They are great because;
- they have integral strength
- transport easily
- in North America insulation that is the same shape of the walls is available.
etc, etc.
The downfalls I think are;
- multiple units means different trades need to be involved and the costs may blow out.
- Self build is possible with 2 or 3 units.
- A single 20 ft unit is small, and a 40ft needs holes cut to let in light.
- 2 / 20 footers maybe better than one 40 footer, particularly if placed apart to create a courtyard.
- They need insulation etc.

I like small homes, where I live the weather is temperate, and I spend a lot of time outside, on the veranda or fiddling in sheds.
We dont have snow and hot weather can be hot, 46deg. C, but I fitted a swampy cooler and it is great.
Both detracters and true believers will drive you made because they may have only read about them.
I use them a bit like a shearers hut, very simple, not insulated but shaded.

I have a shipping container house. It's about 1,500 sq ft with 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The living space is about 330 sq ft. The kitchen is about 300 sq ft. There are also two car parking spots on the property.
With my container home, I can store all of our belongings in one location without having to move around. This is appropriate for those looking for inexpensive housing. To those who are looking for a home and have a sufficient budget, I do not advise this.

Management of waste at a party is a tedious job.
When I decided to conduct a birthday party for my mother, I too have this doubt.
For that party, I have given the work of waste management to a company and I got good results.

LPG is naturally odourless. To avoid harm it is added with the smell of rotten eggs.
If you don't feel any smell, I think there is some issue with your propane tank. Too much air, water or rust in the propane tank may be the reason.
Also, check that the propane tank has no leakage. Because, if your tank has any leakage, then the soil may diffuse the smell.
So, ensure that your tank is in proper condition.

Good information. Thanks, Mart!
