Thanks Charles. I will probably pull them out as I will soon need to be getting the beds ready for new crops.

Buttercup or butternut? I have lots of butternut squash as well so will try them.

[jjat8cvParticipant]

Thanks Charles I will try that.

Excellent video. Like Beverley I will circulate to all my gardening and allotment friends. It is remarkably easy to get cardboard as I found out just by asking at the local shops etc. and I am currently looking for a stables to get horse manure to suppliment my home made wormery and garden compost. 2014 will definitely be the year of complete no dig for me.

[jjat8cvParticipant]

Thank you Charles. I will check if they have more than one grade of compost.

[jjat8cvParticipant]

Thank you for your replies. I have planted them out, will keep under fleece and hope for the best. My other leeks were sown in a pot in the greenhouse before being planted out but I think the hot, dry weather may have something to do with them going to seed as I was unable to water them very much.

I use a strip of Poundland’s bamboo garden edging. It’s easy to unwind the wire and this gives you approx 35 bamboo labels 1in x 8in with a convenient point at one end. I use a Sharpie fine point permanent marker to write on them. Hope this helps.

[jjat8cvParticipant]

Thank you Charles. I will pass on your comments. The tree could be stressed as we haven’t had any appreciable rain for some time.

I have the same problem. Sutton broad beans in my polytunnel flowering but no polinators.

Seer Rockdust is “organically certified, freshly crushed, finely ground volcanic dust” containing “6 essential macro minerals, 11 trace elements and over 40 minerals” so I think that makes it like lava dust. I think I will proabaly try some on some of my raised beds.

I seem to have solved the problem of large slugs and snails but still have a problem with small black/grey slugs which I find actually in my cabbages and cauliflowers. Any suggestions on how to get rid.

[jjat8cvParticipant]

All Bagged up ready for the recycle centre. As we won’t be using weedkiller any more on her plot problem solved. Thank you

[jjat8cvParticipant]

Thank you for your advice. I have some autumn onion seeds to sow this week and I shall use my wormery compost for them. I have a more than I can accomodate in the cell tray so I might sow the remainder in multipurpose compost and compare the results.
