I'm no expert and certainly don't have my mother's green thumbs. But I'm really trying. My flat doesn't get much direct sun, so I put many of the herbs near the window, or outside (I have a little corner outside the flat). I'm growing culantro, lemon balm, thai basil, curry leaves, chilli, aloe vera (is this a herb?), moses in the cradle and something else I don't know the name of The Italian basil I grew was bought from Carrefour. It came in a pot. I put it near the window and it lasted about 4 months. I don't think I know enough about soils to advise. I'm still experimenting. But one thing I can say is that you have to fertilize. I use this organic one in a packet, you can get it from IKEA. If anyone else has tips, please share with us

Hello, I grow a number of herbs in my flat. Some are doing quite well, but they need some sunlight. The Italian basil will grow for a while, but will not last. The Thai basil will thrive with sunlight!

Our window is about 310cm long and we were thinking of making day curtains only, the translucent kind, full length. Any idea of much much the labour can cost, and where can we go to have them made? Thank you.

Our brand new Mitsubishi Inverter is leaking. The neighbour downstairs told us that it was leaking quite a lot. We quickly called the company which installed it. They came to check and said it's normal. It doesn't sound right because those living in the lower floors must suffer a lot. The company was also very unprofessional during the whole installation process. Can anyone help? Thank you.
