    I should pick some up at Waitrose and give it a bash too. The Hostas are starting to stir. 
    Can you get a shed load for me please? 🙂

    Did a one person experiment the other day with coffee grounds. Had a small pot of lettuce that was slowly being chomped by the slugs so I sprinkled a liberal amount of used coffee grounds all around the surface of the soil. When I came back after the weekend, every single lettuce was gone. :neutral:
    I’ve no idea what I’m doing.

    You’ll be telling us next that ground up egg shells don’t work either!,
