fanievb Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 I saw this on instagram last night, Impressive Fanie.You going to be chowing sweet potato for a while. lol, we have a little one on the way. most of the garden is now focused on little people food, so the sweet potatoes will be processed and preserved for future use (no child of mine will eat that purity processed junk) Mousea and Long Wheel Base 2
Long Wheel Base Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 lol, we have a little one on the way. most of the garden is now focused on little people food, so the sweet potatoes will be processed and preserved for future use (no child of mine will eat that purity processed junk)My lightie is 14 months now and hasn't had a single spoon of purity. We made all his food and a lot of it was from the garden. We processed different fruits and veggies and put them in ice cube trays and froze them. Did this once a week. But Even before he got teeth he started getting gatvol of eating the stuff(we think it was the texture he didn't like) and was wanting stuff off our plates(even if it was the same thing!). Luckily now he eats exactly what we eat. Luckily we try to eat fairly healthy so we don't need to worry about him eating rubbish. Now that he is walking we give him dinner in his chair and then he gets bored half way and wants out, Take him out and he walks up to our plates and takes off what he wants.

So you would actually need an extra one to use during those 2 weeks?

Epic Rookie Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 did you buy yours in CT?Ordered off the site and had it delivered direct.If you sign up to the newsletter you get a discount too.You can also order off Faithful to Nature website but even with the additional delivery fee it works out cheaper to go direct
MTBeer Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 looks pretty simple to make - just googled it. 2 x 20l buckets fitting into each other. Then you just need to by the recycling bran.
