Ants in compost

Posted: 01/03/2013 at 09:11

You will need to add some water to that compost bin, for the action of rotting to restart the contents need to be moist and damp. You cannot make compost with dry ingredients. This will also move the ants along, they don't like being wet.

 

Greenhouse Heating

I always start off in the house and place the trays on windowsills once they've outgrown their containers, then everything is moved to a paraffin heated greenhouse for the last month or so. This helps to keep costs to a minimum.

 

Small Wildlife pond

If I'm honest, I don't think that's meant to be used as a pond - it's far too small. Looks more like a cascade system for a waterfall.

It's surprising how hot the sun is, even my ponds although a lot bigger than yours heat up rapidly and can get quite hot; even though I have shaded more than half the waters surface. Then problems with green water start.

I'd also net that in late summer otherwise your water will turn black with the rotting leaves in the bottom.

Hope that pond is in full shade, otherwise it's gonna looker greener than pea soup and hotter than a boiling kettle in the summer.
