Our Feedback
Hi, I bought an electric fence from you about 2 years ago and I have been meaning to contact you in praise of it. The electric fence is, without doubt, the best thing I've ever bought for my pond.
It is extremely easy to install and since doing so I have not lost a single fish to a heron! I just want to say thankyou for such a brilliant product!

How Hot Is That?...Chilli Pepper Heat Guide
Supplied as a packet of approximately 10 seeds.
This Product is Available Now.This is a great chilli with a lovely fresh flavour that isn't as hot as its name may suggest. One of the earliest producing chillies it can be eaten young when the fruits are pale yellow-green and have a very mild heat. Alternatively, the fruits can be allowed to mature to orange red, at which point they have built up a satisfying 'kick'!
Measuring an average of 3-6" (7.5-15 cm) in length and 1-1½" (2.5-4 cm) in diameter, these thin-skinned fruits are perfect for stuffing and roasting - or filling with cream cheese or similar, battering and deep frying. Interestingly, when sliced, the closer to the stem you get the hotter the chilli pepper is. We've also found that when cooked it loses some of its heat.
The plant has a compact and bushy habit, growing 2-3 feet (60-90 cm) tall with a spread of 1-1½ feet (30-45 cm).
