Re: Bay Bush Maintenance

Evening Wurzel and a warm welcome to the forum…. A bit of a tricky question…..Bay trees can be pruned back hard but, in an ideal world this should be done over several seasons! It surprising how much you can take off in one go, without leaving the Bay tree looking to bare….so I think I would try thi...

Re: Late Winter Bits and Bobs.

Another very wet day here, going to sow some extra veg in the greenhouse, to give them a head start, as it will be at least another 2 weeks, before the allotments are in a workable condition! I bet the farmers are getting really concerned now, as there was a lot of the Autumn sown crops they were un...

Re: Late Winter Bits and Bobs.

I got all the allotment grass cut today….but not over pleased with the new drive belt I put on it the other week. Although it’s adjusted up correctly for length, it’s still trying to drive the roller, even when the drive is disengaged…. So the only thing I can think of is, the new belt is just sligh...

How lovely to see you back on the forum, Vivienz….you really have been missed!
Sounds like you had a tough time of it last year, so hopefully this year will be a lot better….
Tea and buns, it is then….🙂

Re: Late Winter Bits and Bobs.

Something that i’ve noticed, and is a real shame is, most new members post their first post, get a warm welcome and a few answers, then don’t even come back on the forum, or may look once but, never reply! I know this used to happen occasionally, years ago, but nothing like it does now…..

Re: Late Winter Bits and Bobs.

Well we have had rain for nearly 36 hours, now Clive, so the sun and drying wind Friday and Saturday, have lost the battle again….with a lot more rain predicted over the next 10 days, I would say we will be well into April before we are working the land here! Then there’s the coming snow…..🫢🙂 Hope y...
