Thanks both. I've treated the two plants the same - from the dates sown, watering, feeding and distance from the light without getting to the...
Had both my Sweet Million seeds germinate and they seemed to be growing pretty well under my grow light. Yesterday I noticed one of the plants was...
Braced the terrible weather and got bed 3 out of 4 sieved at the allotment, with half a bucket of potatoes coming out in the process. Just about...
Got myself a 'budget' cage. It's basically a bunch of the plastic coated metal stakes, with a few extenders and clips to attach them together and...
Started my first seeds of the year in one of my bargain heated propagators. Even though I got 2 of them for less than a tenner, I still look...
Thanks for the replies. Think I'll stick with the 'proper' mesh and try and save money by knocking together a frame myself.
Making the most of another spell of awful weather to put more plans together for the allotment and top of the list was finding some mesh to keep...

They might be different in size but one thing all of the beds had in common was the amount of stones that were in the soil. A quick trip to Wickes...

My main Christmas present from the family was an allotment so the majority of my gardening aspirations involve getting to grips with the plot and...
I'm definitely interested if this is still open.
Good practice to run it through a sieve anyway, Rob. Haven't got to go mad with it and use anything ultra fine, just enough to get any of the big...
If I hadn't caught the 'grow your own' bug before today, I certainly have after it.[ATTACH]Tipped out the last of my 30 litre Jazzy potato...
