Hi Colin and all, This is a seriously good idea as I think many people would be put off the idea of growing their own if left to their own devices. I'm into my third year now and things are better but far from the ideal I had in my mind when I started. Success breeds success and I think where I bene...

Thanks for all of your replies - one further question: On the ordinary plot I'm advised against manuring the carrot bed to avoid forking etc - but raised beds especially new ones seem to be 90% manure - think they'll be ok?

Thanks

David

Hi all Back on the subject of raised beds - what wood would you recommend? Ive heard that scaffold boards are perfect but otherwise I guess its down to the timber merchant for some 1"x9"x 15'. Should it be treated or is that a no-no with the organic crowd? Any advice gratefully recieved, D...

Thank you all. David

Hi Sylvia

Hi all, Last year on the old forum I asked a kind member if I could have a sample of some Egyptian Walking onions (I think thats what they were called). That was about August time I think, nothing happened and I just put it down to supply and demand. But I'm glad to say they have arrived!! Just abou...

Ive just entered the free offers and quickly recived an email telling me that an email to Mortons (see below) had failed. As I hadnt sent them one but they are a magazine publisher I guess it is you.

Maybe you could look in to his and see if my entry has landed or not.

Thanks

Hi all, this is a bit different but lets see how it works. I have chili plant in a pot that has a good crop on it which I am planning to take off soon. The plant still looks green and healthy sat on the windowsill. The question is is it worth trying to keep it going through the winter or should I bi...
