many thanks!
I'll dig it in when I can persuade the assistant estate manager to pull his finger out!

I don't grow much in the way of food, yet, and my garden is very small, but I intend to grow what I can in pots etc.

so far there's only a tiny bit of liquid in the indented parts of the wormery, certainly not a swimming pool! I must appear very solicitous about my babies, and I am! I can't bear to think of any of them dying as a result of my negligence I'll take myself off to a charity shop tomorrow for a jumper ...

I've just been up to the wormery to show Alex all the casts they've produced already! And I thought I would check the collecting tray to make sure all was well there too. Imagine my horror to see lots of worms languishing there should I rescue them and put them back in the working tray, or will they...

Apologies for may seem to be a rather daft question! I've taken delivery of what has been described as well rotted horse manure. As a child I grew up on the North Yorkshire moors next to farms and a riding school and I seem to recall that the manure was a dark, dark chocolate colour and crumbly in t...

um, well,I didn't!
But my Nana always told me "you buy cheap, you buy twice" and I've found that to be true. So I'd rather buy the very best once, than buy an inferior one and then find I have to replace it shortly afterwards.

Does anyone have one of these delicious items, and if so, did you find that it's really worth all that money?

I love the little garden birds we have - I do everything I can to attract as many different species as possible! We have goldfinches, sparrows, chaffinches, blue tits, coal tits, great tits, wrens, dunnocks, a couple of completely mad wood pigeons, and a lovely pair of collared doves. We also have b...

I wonder, can you use hessian as a moisture mat? At the moment I'm using damp newspaper - one of the chaps on Gardeners Corner forum said that's what they use.
Thanks for the suggestions, I'll tootle up to the can shortly and add some old teabags - Yummy (I think!)

hello, I'm lynne, and this is my first post on KG. Do help yourself to one of my home grown peaches! I was given a can o worms from someone who no longer needed theirs. Just the Can, no worms, no bedding. I've made my own bedding from shredded newspaper, soaked thoroughly, and yesterday tipped .5 kg...
