Forgot about weed on compost sin. Paying for it at the moment. beds look like mustard and cress tubs . Have to hoe every couple of days. Well at least the compost is fertile!
I keep on intending to wash pots but have never actually done it. (I only wash up in the kitchen when I run out of space for heaven's sake!)
My watchword is 'that'll do for now'.
I hate cleaning my tools (and other people's) but do it cos I know I ought to, not cos I want to. I do sharpen them though - they''re so much easier to use!
If there's a horrible job to do and a chance someone else will do it - I don't.
I have been known to mow the path. It looks quite pretty with all those green lines.
Me too nut. I've also left the tomato plants in the greenhouse until they completely rotted for the last two or three years, failed to clean it and still have disease free tomatoes in there right now, some of which are still flowering!
A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
All of the above, I thought I was the only person who snipped weeds off at the ground rather than carefully digging them out with an appropriate tool
Also, I buy the cheapest compost, handle seedlings by the stems, move things whenever I like, occasionally stab into a rootball with a trowel rather than 'teasing out the roots with a fork', I've never put grit under a bulb, don't collect/control/do anything with slugs and my garden is strewn with disgarded labels and empty pots.

I've never once washed pots.
I've never sharpened my tools ( ooh erh missus)
I throw docks and other nasties into the compost ( and have never had them regrow)
I'm a fly by the seat of my pants kinds of a guy.

Missed Steve's post. Can't confess to leaving it for someone else. But have to confess to leaving it.

I put my pots out in the rain to wash. Doesn't everyone?
I'm very good at cleaning underneath the lawnmower , but not the ride-on .
