I got some peat free germination soil which I put in the grow backs. I'll put some in the plastic ones now as I had run out. I used manure and compost. For the grow bags I used peat free germination compost and manure. Then topped up with "normal" compost. All of my own compost has gone into raised veg patches

@Paul in the woods Makes sense as where I live is known as little Italy 🤣 I have been earth up as the leaves grow but the ones in the 40L have not leaves. Will see

@Paul in the woods Bindweed is a pain, I decided to nuke mine I kept digging it out then covered the areas for a whole year then planted the next year all fine then this year its gone nuts again. I got a poop load of this stuff as well ..I dug six shovels down and the roots are still going, this and bind weed has gone nuts

*lots of.

I have lost of patatoes growing at the moment. Some in grow bags (doing amazing) but the ones I have growing in those plastic 40L tubs from wickes are not growing at all. I have put holes in the tubs for drainage. The seed patatoes all came from the same pack.

Totally agree with the finance stuff. We all now the other pros and cons so I won't list them. And I wish my (old) allotment was full of hippies 😆😆 i had mainly old miserable farts

I agree, back in the day that is how it was but I am talking way before any of us was born. Maybe pockets of it around and or when we was all young. The way forward is to grow your own. It may mean eat whats in session. Also be wary of allotments, although i liked mine it get all very childish and political. Mainly old farts nothing better to do. The other side I had a few helpful people and then a few Eastern europens got some allotments they work gard and make good allotments but they gave everyone attitude. Not saying all allotments are like this just my exp and a few people I have spoke to. Guess it's no different from anywhere egos etc. (My allotments have cultures from all over..just in case the Woke patrol are on here) everyone was being a d*ck besides a few Own land, own rules grow what you want how you want.

This is what I do I tend to only ly dig over if I really have to The No-Dig Method | Garden Organic WWW.GARDENORGANIC.ORG.UK

Glad mayonnaise was not brought into the equation. Which you can make from eggs... Anyway this has been all very educational. I choose to still dig

*undecided. That is true unless I am in Vietnam (I still wouldn't eat dog(s) )

So people are decided on keeping chickens.... maybe I shall just get a puppy 🐶...

Hello, I am back on the office today so late replies. It is a dalek bin, not the best ones as you need to turn the compost, but it is a 70quid one so I didn't say no. And it is better than nothing. However I am purchasing one that turns in the near future. You are right about the green bins, I try to keep as much as possible. At the moment I tend to have more weeds goutch (however you spell it) so they go in the green bin... I am waiting for a week of nice weather so I can blitz the garden again.

@Paul in the woods ha, no to bees! I'm a research nut u like to feel I'm ready for hens... but the garden will suffer..I have a sectioned off bit. Will zee. fyi I gave pet rats... I did have 32, I am down to 5 now. Lol

Went for a walk today.. got some free wood and a compost bin 😃

@Dan Maynard nice one Dan 👍
