Re: Allotment bonfires
I dont have an allotment any more, but when I did there was only one rule on bonfires/burning rubbish.
If the wind was blowing towards the houses that backed onto the allotment site, we couldnt have a fire... so in reality we couldnt have them at all in any of the plots round the edge of the site.

Re: 3 wishes for the garden?
ooo 3 wishes... 1 - no weeds, or at least not nettles, I'm allergic to the things but for some reason they are attracted to my garden I'm the only garden on the street with a massive nettle problem 2 - Permanently fertile soil. Yes I like spreading the compost, but I'd love soil that was just natura...

Re: shop garlic growing?
I have regularly queried the idea that Garlic needs a period of chilling to divide properly on the basis that most Garlic is grown in warmer climates than ours. As it has come up again I thought I would have a little search and found this on the RHS site: After planting, garlic needs a cool, one- t...

Re: slugs in compost
Hi Dan That mesh size sounds more like a flour or caster sugar sifter. A normal garden sieve would probably let eggs and small black slugs through it so I suspect many of us are perpetuating the problem of slugs on the plot itself I loved sieved soil and try to sift the soil at least where root cro...

Re: To give away: Vegetables seeds (7 packets)
(Seeds in a jar)??? yup... thats according to my brother in law who works in his local drug unit. apparently its a bit of an on going joke that they cant do anything about possession of the seeds as long as they are "decorative" not for growing... well, who knew a few packs of seeds would...

Re: slugs in compost
Not an issue I've ever noticed. Although, my whole garden has a slug problem this year, so its likely that I've just not looked at the right time. Personally, I've been putting the compost through a rotary sift with a very fine (~1mm, but dont quote me, I'm measuring by eye) mesh... So I hope that w...

Re: To give away: Vegetables seeds (7 packets)
yeh westi.. its daft. technically the seeds can be sold as decorative (so you can have the seeds in a jar on your mantle without growing them) As for growing the plants. Although the law allows it, its so strict on what constitutes "reasonable personal use" that in reality its not legal. y...

Re: To give away: Vegetables seeds (7 packets)
interestingly (on the topic of canabis seeds), selling the seeds isnt illegal in the uk. As long as they are sold as "decorative" not growing seeds... You can also grow it in the uk as long as you only grow enough for "reasonable personal use" which amounts to about one plant per...
