Nice one Ziggy and JWK. Unemployment is grim. I've got a horrible feeling there will be a lot more of it to come, the way this Government seems to...
No, moved away in 2001. Didn't go back to visit till 2 years ago. The village has lost a big of it's charm since I lived there. Poor old White...
i used to live round the corner from that church, Ziggy! Not that I ever went there, heathen that I am. I do like poking round old churches...
The Jurassic Coast is lovely. We actually have lots of amazing coastline in Britain - southern Cornwall around St Austell, North Devon in the...
The loam will improve the structure of your soil, help it drain properly whilst holding on to water and nutrients. If you dig down 2 spade...
Well I've found some info from the Council of Mortgage Lenders. Apparently your survey includes a Land Contamination record check, but in practice...
Good for growing pineapples, John. Early growers in the UK used rotting manure for heat. I love that. More power to nature. I'm going to try...
JWK - the house I'm looking at is Number 1, Uranium Mine Terrace.
Alice - you get me wrong. I grow veg and don't worry. But I'm (half) thinking about (maybe) buying, and wondering what actually happens if there...
Dai, please! Read my posts, dude! Alice, yes, that's what I intend to do if I ever get a place of my own. Just wondering whether there were any...
Nah, not being paranoid Dai. I do grow my veg and enjoy it. My garden has been tilled for a century or more, it's soil from heaven. Just...
I don't, Dai. Just that lots of gardens are, particularly new builds. And another thread talking about annexing roundabouts got me thinking...
Umm. Thanks Dai. But how do you know it's contaminated in advance so you don't have to make yourself ill or worse in the process...?
It's not a waste if you compost it, Eddie. It's food for your next lot of veg. Possibly my favourite Gardening Thing is using old stuff I've...
If you move into a house, how would you know if your soil is contaminated with heavy metals etc? If it's a brand new house, I guess the...
Wouldn't fancy growing root veg on a municipal roundabout. I loved Alys Fowler's column in the paper the other day though - advising "guerilla...
100 beets? Crikey. I squeeze in a dozen or so in succession when other crops are harvested. Do you people ALL have massive gardens and plots?...
Have they built the new fishing jetty down there yet? I was involved in some work about it a few years back. Didn't look to me like a go-er.
Haha that sounds familiar Shobhna. My spare room is the only really sunny one I have - South-West facing. It's like a bloomin garden centre in...
Mine have been pretty poor, to be honest. Floppy and sprawling and not flowering particularly well. Strange how gardening works - I did nothing...
