Re: Compost Tumbler
Had one like an acorn with a very shallow cap and long & thin "nut". Utterly useless. Any weight it was difficult to rotate. Cap side was always at the bottom due to thicker heavier plastic. Rain and decomposition juices always filled the cap and no drain, do always got wet n smelly to...

Re: What are you going to use when peat is gone ?
Minced and composted environmental activists, the clothing should all be plant based, with a bit of wool.
Might have more fox and rodent interest in the compost bin.
This is VERY firmly a tongue in cheek comment.

Re: Death list
One of the nicest teachers at my school (1970's) announced some weeks ago on the school (closed 1990) Facebook page that he would be "checking out shortly" and last week a fellow teacher announced his passing from cancer.

Re: Late Summer Bit and Bobs.
Years ago I only used to see them over the M40, when visiting a friend. Then occasionally spotted one Hertford way, they arrived here as occasional visitors a few years later and never saw them east of the M11. Now they're as common as muck, had two circling on Sunday, way up high, and see them ofte...

Best avoid Google then Tiger!
I google the Remarkable2 tablet at work, as someone's "reasonable adjustments for disability" review by DWP had recommended it.
It now haunts me on YouTube with constant adverts.

Re: Stupid job titles
I work in local government, the worst I've seen is "Domestic Abuse Practitioner" which is dreadful juxtaposition of English words, it needs something like Prevention or Reduction instead of just Practitioner!

Grumbles around the edge of my town on social media, the brief muck-spreading season is open.
Between harvest and cultivation for the next crop.

Re: Tree advice, please
Horse Chestnut trees are brittle, the wood snaps easily and they can grow to a prodigious size. However as with any tree, if tree surgeons do a cut-back they are opening up routes for infection and rot, mostly by fungi. That causes longer term damage, the short term is that many trees respond to bei...

Re: Post approval
I really don't see why kg subscribers should wait for approval, they need their subscription id number to join and it would be simple to get hold of their name and address if they misbehaved in any way. Just a thought. Jan Just the way the magazine has set up the forum, no distinguishing difference...

Three different compost/growbags, bagged manure, granular fertiliser, lime, canes, weed membrane, seed potatoes, etc Asked if they had a competi...
