    Jolly good idea to use some common sense image


    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.





  • As I have stressed below in my post ....Laugh and Joke at your peril...only a fool makes a joke about  a very serious subject being painted over by the establishment.

    Tetanus in soil- get a jab regularly

    Anthrax in bonemeal.- wear gloves and wash hands after use.

    Salmonella in chickens- make sure its cooked properly.

     E. coli all over the place, door handles, escalator handrails, telephones, keyboards- wash hands before eating food.

    I don't know how I've  survived so long.

    I read them. Its just that it seems they have the work experience staff writing the reports.

  • Just in case some people do not know we are being forced to use peat free compost the Govt has decreed it.. Only other way is to make your own,but for some of us with small gardens only way is to buy compost and we do not have experience to produce compost that will grow seedlings,if big companies cannot still find way to make peat free as good what chance does an amateur have. Fed up with PC crowd dictating what I should do.

    Proposals by the previous gov't to phase out peat use by amateurs by 2020 and professionals by 2030 are just that. Proposals. I foresee that with the problems with recycled rubbish being rubbish at growing stuff, then a lot of  amateur gardeners will be using professional products. I already do.
