Checked today after nights worth of rain and its quarter full so transferred it into number 2 butt.

Think you are right oldherbaceous.

If it's the elephant I want its poo...Do not think it's a human issue more likely to be knackered butt.

There are 3 in series so will move them around.

Been boasting that all this rain will fill my barrels up.

There is a ditch behind my plot so thinking of using the bilge pump to fill them up.

Went to plot for stock up on veg for tea, thought I would see how full my water butts were, as we have had a bit? of rain of late. Took lid off shock/horror it only had couple of inches of water with level at least 2 inches below tap outlet. Tilted butt to see if tap was on or leaking, not on/no lea...

I contacted Yorkshire tea after hearing of plastic in teabags at a composting lecture couple years back.

As they were part of a package 10 x each Cauliflower/cabbage/Kale/Broccoli I suspect I got more cabbage plants instead of cauliflower but wonder what has caused the brown head any ideas?

I am at a loss over the chemical’s in food chain concern. Perhaps we should not be growing in the earth but use hydroponics’ instead? But then what about contaminates in the water that we do not know about. I questioned my self over my use of plastic whilst on the plot yesterday. I use plastic trays...

Wow how rubbish has change since taking up gardening. 5 years ago my green bin (recyclable) was always full up ready for collection every fortnight…Not been put out for last 2 collects and is only half full now mainly with tins. Paper is shredded with window from envelope removed, cardboard is strip...
