How to remove herbicide from a mountain bike

While I was away last weekend, my flatmate sprayed Roundup in our yard (without my permission), including – in an attempt to get to the nearby weeds – on my mountain bike.

Obviously, I’m generally concerned about the presence of this chemical in our yard, but I’m particularly concerned about making sure my bike is safe to ride again.

Does anybody have experience of cleaning herbicides from metal and rubber surfaces? What cleaning materials should I use? Are there any specific precautions I should take when cleaning?

Labor greenlights contentious Robbins Island windfarm despite fears for endangered orange-bellied parrot

Environment advocates have called for important migratory shorebird habitat off Tasmania to be declared ‘no-go site’

The Albanese government has greenlit a contentious windfarm proposed for Robbins Island off north-western Tasmania, promising to impose conditions to protect threatened bird species, including the critically endangered orange-bellied parrot.

The environment minister, Murray Watt, announced on Friday that he had approved an application by the renewable energy company Acen Australia to build up to 100 turbines, a 1.2km bridge between the nearly 10,000-hectare island and the Tasmanian mainland, a 500-metre wharf and four quarries.

Manure tea

Manure tea

I have a question about brewing manure tea. I was brewing some alpaca manure tea, it has been brewing for 24 hours. It had a lot of foam, and I decided I would add in a little bit of some Alaska fish fertilizer. I was hoping to add some extra micro organisms to the tea. Almost immediately after adding the Alaska fish fertilizer to the tea all the foam disappeared. Did adding the fish fertilizer kill off my micro organisms? Why did the foam dissappear?

Building an house in Italy on the land is too expensive

Building an house in Italy on the land is too expensive

Because of European laws we have to ensure class A+ for buildings and that makes really hard to build cheap houses. I am not really sure how to apply permaculture if the first thing is to have an house on the land.

I understand it’s not necessary, but we all know how having an house on the land change completely the way you live and see nature.
