Robins
After rotavating I had a few hours fun with robins, one was investigating the rotovated soil and carrying off beakfulls of wrigglies to a nest somewhere. Then another turned up and a fight ensued on top of next doors salad/cabbage tall netting cage, both zoomed off. The original (I think) resumed ac...

Re: Christmas!
Magazine doesn't see the need for more moderators with the volume of activity on here. If you can point out any more of his posts, which the "Ban Hammer" tool was supposed to remove I can individually delete them. But unless I peruse every thread in past months I'm unable to find them as h...

Re: What are these invading the plot?
Closest two matches match I can find in the Phone App "LeafSnap" are:
1 Sibthorpia Peregrina AKA Madeira Moneywort, "it forms dense mats of finely pubescent leaves and miniature yellow flowers."
2 Bramble.

Going Green, but not doing so?
Our Allotment provider wants to go green and is advising "a dilute solution of salt" to kill weeds. Thoughts and opinions welcome. I note the RHS counsel against it and point to the Health & Safety Executive as regards what is legal to use. https://www.rhs.org.uk/weeds/weeds-on-hard-su...

Re: Spring Bits and Bobs.
Thought we'd have a sodden match today as I was preparing the container bar. Dark slate clouds to our west, a flurry of hail and a strong shower. All changed by kickoff time, bright sunshine with lighter coloured clouds. A good crowd and thankfully after being thrashed away last week, a convincing w...

Re: Spring Bits and Bobs.
Brief shower this morning, determinably overcast. Yesterdays success was second coat of barn paint on concrete shed door and frame, made a chain of two padlocks and the bits on the door & frame to leave it secure but no painted bits touching each other. Walked the dogs and when we got back it wa...

Re: Ant useful apps
I occasionally use LeafSnap, which identified the beautiful towering plant I was brushing against when walking up or down the path between my two plots as Hemlock.

Re: Late Winter Bits and Bobs.
I'd used my pole saw to remove overhanging hawthorn and honeysuckle above where a tenant wanted to put his diddy greenhouse some weeks ago and promised to dig out my shredder. Finally dry enough on Saturday to do the deed, I think he was worried it'd never happen, anyhow, when I'd dragged the 5HP be...

Re: Can you just be evicted plot
Get the council and your ward Councillors involved, nuclear option but leave fighting if that's the way the wind blows. Council could pull the lease back, if you can prove discrimination is in play. One of our town sites had a person like that stand up as Site Agent (council's onsite representative ...
