        Hi Lolimac,

        Thanks for the reply. Have started my onions growing already but it might be fun to see how others do.

        Mammoth Onions

        Cheers, Richard

            Yep, I only like milk in my tea. There were billions of them on the farm, tea was black with floaters.

            Hiya chums:)

            Given the problems I had getting the seed to germinate, and the recent posts regarding compost, I was wondering if folks here think that some composts are better than others, for germination? Obviously, if one was to try to germinate something amongst a load of twigs, then one wouldn't expect good results. But what if it looks ok, on the face of it?
