Most water supply companies use staff trained with dowsing rods to find old pipes and leaks. But now it turns out that dowsing for a future mate is good too.    So how does it work? Well the theory is that th.../UserConsole/ViewPost.aspx?Title=Dowsing_for_a_lover&ArticleID=3064/UserConsole/ViewPost.aspx?Title=Dowsing_for_a_lover&ArticleID=3064#commentsTue, 15 Jun 2010 10:13:34 GMTWith water shortages through out the world, a number of inventors and manufacturers are working to develop water-recycling systems. From a simpledownpipe diverter that takes water to flower beds, to large underground filtering, sterilizing and storage.    Grey water is produced from showering, bathing and washing fruit and vegetables that ends up down the drain and quickly to the waterways where the soap residue has been linked to the loss of habitats on our rivers and streams.

We've had one of the worst and coldest winters so will we have one of the hottest summers?     Well, I have come back to Green Ghost to help you through those summer months. Fresh air... fresh start maybe??? Redecorating and got loads of empty metal paint pots around your house; ready to plant those spring seeds and bulbs but you don't know where to put them?

Drink a glass of warm water with lemon juice, two teaspoons, first thing in the morning and last thing at night – or just before brushing your teeth. 2.

With spring around the corner we have been looking at co.../UserConsole/ViewPost.aspx?Title=News_update&ArticleID=2917/UserConsole/ViewPost.aspx?Title=News_update&ArticleID=2917#commentsWed, 10 Mar 2010 10:29:58 GMTAt Green Ghost Towers, we have been checking out the new addition to the stable of Porsche.  Keen to keep people driving at break neck speed the boffins have developed a hybrid sports car that not only goes from 0 – 100km/h in 3.2 seconds it produces little more carbon dioxide than the Toyota Primus.     In tests, the Porsche 918 Spyder produces 70g/km whilst the Primus just beats it at 89 g/km yet does not have the low fuel consumption of the Porsche that, at 94 mpg is putting more than a .../UserConsole/ViewPost.aspx?Title=Porsche_goes_green&ArticleID=2914/UserConsole/ViewPost.aspx?Title=Porsche_goes_green&ArticleID=2914#commentsTue, 02 Mar 2010 20:33:36 GMTLOVE POTION TEA 1 pinch of rosemary 2 teaspoons of black tea 3 pinches thyme 3 pinches nutmeg 3 fresh mint leaves 6 fresh rose petals 6 lemon leaves 3 cups pure spring water Sugar as desired Honey as desired To make another person fall in love with you, brew this tea on a Friday during a waxing moon (moving from empty to full).Place all ingredients in an earthenware or copper kettle.
