Edible Gardening

My Russet tree has cropped well this year, already pressed 160 lbs, another 110 lbs today, have approx. 140 lbs ready to press and there's still some on the tree (probably under it by the end of today's winds).Looks like being a 1,000 lbs year for pressing from all of my trees and surplus...

Okay, I see. I will research a bit more into it I think. Thank you once again for an informative answer!I think I will go with the inorganic fertilizer this time since I have it. Then I might try organic next year or when I run out of it. I will soon post a new drawing of my system.

How are you storing them JWK?

Build a bridge out of it

Thanks John , I'll add sarpo to my 2018 plant plan and get my seed potatoes early Feb. I'll plant them in a couple of 30 litre trugs I have.

Wow how time has flown past but little changed! Nothing really new except chickens were added to one side and some raspberry plants too! They done ok I guess, great fruit but would love more!This year I have it covered in plastic to kill off some of the bind weed and other nasties that have...

It was a bad here for blight down south too, all my outdoor tomatoes got it. I am annoyed with myself because previous years I've sprayed with Bordeaux Mixture and had plenty of spray left, I kept telling myself to do it but never got round to it - I've gone doodleally already.I did see your...

Need a growing fix have just put heating in my conservatory or as my wife calls it in house greenhouse :-) it's south facing have got a thermostatic propagator and grow lights if needed just fancied growing some thing different any ideas would be great ?

He he thanks @KandyThe allotment is next on my list of tasks to tidy up...has been neglected except for harvesting the last few weeks!

@Scrungee the thermostat is on the back of the heater.I converted if from propane to natural gas because I have a natural gas line out back which was originally for the bbq and now I use in the cold weather for the heater. I was very curious because it would be a bonus to be able to circulate...

Is it possible to plant thing's like Kale,Cabage's or Broccoli now if I plant the seed's in toilet roll holder's and put on a shelf in front of the window in my shed and I do have some heated propagator's if that would be better.
