Thanks JWK. I've got 6 bins now (each about 1.5 cu.metres), but purely because I started with 2, when I knew nothing about composting and just...
Well, for what it's worth, here's my twopenn'oth. I second everything which has been said, particularly about finding out what type of soil you...
Just as a BTW to this. With no rain for 6 weeks, my water butts have become - as my Gran would have said - 'neither use nor ornament', but working...
Yes, I know, this link says 'rosemary' cuttings, but the method for taking all 'semi-ripe' cuttings (which is what you're after) is exactly the...
The cat has never forgiven me for digging up our rhubarb since from beneath it's leaves she could remain cool whilst making sure we behaved. The...

Thank you both, I just don't remember my Dad's spuds having quite so much 'up top'. It's true, those in the spare bit of ground probably are...
Here in my bit of Kent, we've had no rain (to speak of) for about 5 weeks. They keep forecasting it, but more in hope than expectation I think....
I'm no veggie grower (Mr. F'smum's domain) but since he's away, I'm having a go. Just for fun really, I made drainage holes in a couple of 60ltr...

Perhaps it's because whenever I've bought seeds in Wilkos, only half of them have ever germinated - the trick of course is knowing which half and...
Freecycle?
