Re: Best early Peas
if the whole allotment was covered in a net cage all year would you get a build up of insect pests that the birds would have normally eaten?

Re: Controversial diet matters.
i too have never had a pot noodle, ill admit to one mouthful of coke some 45 years ago. whether it was the real one or pepsi i cant remember,.

Re: Tidy plot versus a jungle
i go with the jungle option gives the rabbits etc the choice of what to eat and you get a healthy mix of insects on the wild flowers. the jungle provides year round habitat for the mini beasties. stinging nettles amongst the raspberries means the granddaughters dont eat all the crop before i get the...
