Well, hubby has been a mature student for the last 6 years and we have never cancelled Christmas. We are religious so it is important to us, but it also a great time to have fun and be silly with the kids (ours are 3 yrs and 11 wks). Things (non-religious) that we do are: * Have an evening touring o...

We grew a ton of rocket in a tray, now used up is it ok to put the contents of the tray in the compost bin ??
Is there anything we definitely shouldn't be putting in there ??

There are a few plots available where my mum has her allotment in Salford Priors, Nr Evesham, Worcs.
They may need a bit of love as its a fairly new site. Not cheap though compared to some think it works out at around £1 a week.

There are some allotments locally that had such a slow take up, one family we know has 10 plots ! They keep chickens and ducks on some, as do some other folk down there. There are still some vacant which we are trying to take up (we had to wait til hubby finished his MSC as didn't have the time befo...

special tax to go alongside VAT, known as AYS (are you stupid) tax. this to be applied to patio heaters and plug in air freshners.

I just wondered really if it was worth doing, if anyone had grown them from seed and how to go about it really.

Thanks a bunch

(desperate to turn myself into a gardener this year LOL)

how much would you dilute the manure liquid down before using as feed ??

I hate another seasonal celebration going down the commercial pan. As it happens we are a religious family so attend Church on Easter Sunday (well every sunday actually). We usually have lamb for dinner. We do a little egg hunt on the saturday with one small bag of mini choc eggs or make some with a...

Relativley new to veggie growing, we just threw things in lat year and hoped for the best but we were wondering what does well with a good dose of well-rotted horse manure available at local stables for pickup ??

Thanks Russ,

Would never have thought of that !

Ok. So I want to grow some strawberries this year and was looking at planters (also thinking about one for my herbs) But I don't like the prices LOL Then looking on the net I found this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/STRAWBERRY-BARREL-STRAWBERRY-PLANTER_W0QQitemZ250209521022QQihZ015QQcategoryZ20518QQssPageN...
