Comments on Amazon for growing from seed do not look very positive.

Re: Mid Winter Bits and Bobs.
Would moving the path in front of the conifers give you more growing space?

Re: wrapper which the magazine comes in
Is there a need to wrap the magazine apart from enclosing the seeds & flyers?
I get catalogues from seed supplies through the post without any extra wrapping some have small sticky label to keep book shut.
Flyers could be printed in the mag, perhaps fold a page over to make pockets for seeds.

Re: Do you have new live Christmas tree every year?
I use window 7 when I right click a picture it gives me a drop down menu with a option to rotate clockwise/anticlockwise.
Saves the need to open picture to edit it.

Re: New composting bins
I put all the sucked up shredded leaves in my hot compost as thinking it gets done a bit quicker than a year or 2 using the black bag method.

Re: New composting bins
I have heard of success of using large builder bags, but never tried myself. Wondering who does hot or cold composting and do you turn it or leave it. I have been shredding loads of neighbours trees using a Bosch AXT 25D shredder/chipper a great bit of kit, it also shreds cardboard as well. "wi...

Re: Planting broad bean seeds end November
"Remember to sow the seed with the hilum (black scar) downwards as this is where the root will emerge."
Thank you John, I did not know that.
