Funny what gives us gardeners pleasure...
Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.

Now that is my idea of the perfect Valentine,s day present!
And if something more than perfection could be aspired to it would be the provision of a willing pair of hands to shovel it to where its needed!

I stopped using it as all I was doing was importing weeds and a lot of my veg was small especially the spuds that’s why I’m looking at the treated manure as well as a guy coming to the allotment selling it ridiculously cheap

My husband and I spent half an hour yesterday, in a force 9 gale and horizontal rain (sleet at times) unloading 25 large bags of manure out of our van and onto our allotment compost bins. We were cold. We were wet. We couldn't have been happier.

I spent a couple of hours in my man cave shed disassembling a pile of half size pallets.
A pile of kindling to be cut to length and split, a pile of compressed woodflake blocks - excellent smouldering glowers and some nice reusable bits of pine.
To top it off one was actually two held together with that stiff plastic wrapping tape, which made a decent pair of steps to stop the DW complaining about jumping down and back up from her gym area. Found another similar and cut half off to do the other change of level.
These three were close boarded on top.
One left for allotment shed use.

Do not put off thanking people when they have helped you, as they may not be there to thank later.
