Sally Thanks for the explanation which makes sense. As being 18 miles from nearest B & Q plus it being in city is a big deterrent from visiting them, hence why I rely upon the council doing their bit, I pay enough for the service. Fortunately in my community when there is stuff a house holder do...

There is a lot of confusion over recycling, I wonder how b & q can recycle them but local council cant?

"There's a post on Facebook saying b an q are happy to have plastic pots and trays brought in for recycling" I wonder if they are recycled or go into land fill? Hi Westi, I used scaffolding boards to surround beds, then learnt that you can walk on composted beds to weed/plant, so am trying...

Quote from supplier website "So when you buy our seed trays, you ensure the survival of a valuable, natural resource."

A lot of good alternatives are being suggested here but I am not seeing any suppliers/manufacturers promoting alternatives to non recycled plastic.

"Rubber is less environmentally friendly than most plastic as it won't recycle." Interesting comment wonder what happens to all the car tyres are they in land fill with the plastic? No way the plastic seed tray I have will last 30 years some are cracking up after first year, they are so fl...

Just got a couple of seeds tray made from rubber, seems a good alternative to plastic although bit on pricey side.

These can from a recommendation from Charles Dowding and are called 'Flex' 30 Module Natural Rubber Seed Tray.

Anybody else trying them?

Brilliant...Do I see space for hanging baskets top right of picture?

How about a wormery for your compost needs or a hotbin composter?

Don't know if this will help got my blue water pipe from tool station around £15 for 25mm x 25m free delivery, this was a couple of years ago.

I got scaffold netting 3m x 50m for £30.99 including delivery, from ebay.

Look for Clearance.

Hi All, thank you very much for your replies which very interesting and informative. I learnt the first year that brassicas need firm planting in my beds, as had to support the Brussels sprout stem to stop them falling over. I think I have got on top of the broccoli as had great results this year, s...

Thanks Sally. This is in a no dig bed 4ft x 12ft made up 2 years ago with different composts on sandy soil, first year I grew lettuce/spring onion/beetroot/purple broccoli this year just cauliflower & kale. I was intending to spread home made compost to give it a boost, I will now add your borax...

Thank you all for comments, I'll have another go elsewhere on the plot and see what happens.

Got the free brassicas offer last year purple broccoli & kale brilliant, 2 cabbages out of 10 and 1 cauliflower. Suspect there was a mix up with cabbages & cauliflower. The last 2 cauliflowers do not have tight white heads plus I had 2 brown head rejects and one that does not have any head. ...

"Anyone tried coffee grounds? My stepdaughter works at Costa so have an endless supply."

Not for slugs but they are good for composting & I believe spreading on the planting.
