Wormery

I have 2 Daleks, but would like a 'hot bin', as far as I know EVERYTHING can go into it, it is v. fast too, but a.t.m. costs £129, So will wait for price to come down. Was going to get a wormery, but it seems problematical in the winter.

Fairy G, a pint of fruit and veg juice every morning as breakfast; when it's all from the garden, it's organic too - it is filling and good for you. Just call me Saint Artjak

First year I had a proper veg bed, grew a globe artichoke; it grew to 3m x 3m. The following year it took a day with an axe to chop up the root

Birdy, as far as I understand you don't get the tree logo on ipad, it should be on the line under 'Birdy 13 says' when you are typing a response.

Somewhere on this forum there is a garlic solution; as far as I remember, you boil an entire head of garlic, slightly crushed, in a litre or so of water then when it is cool, add small amounts to the watering can.

Perennial Foxglove?????

Still waiting for the perennial Digitalis I ordered in December, should have been delivered in April, cost £24.93 from T & M. I think I am going to ask for a refund; I need to fill the spaces that I left for them.

I can't help but ask, is this Portnoy's complaint? There, someone had to say it.

I agree; this is the latest spring for many years, though I think 1962 or 3 had serious snow in April. I remember digging my father's car out of the drive and putting down cinders to help the traction. Also, cycling to the station to get to college, bending my pedals in the snow!

Birdy, I saw one recently on the internetty thing which is made in Hampshire from recycled plastic, cost about £65 and they have been designing it for years and they think they have got it right re worm drowning.
