Greens

BTW Dai, I applied growmore about two weeks ago, when would you suggest adding more, and how often ?

 

Hi folks. Well, it`s game over. We had a windy spell the other day, and, you can guess the rest. Sorry Dai, but I DO have some more sown so I was thinking, what if, instead of using matchsticks, I used some thick polythene to keep the cut open ? Cheers...freddy.

 

Hi freddy, pity about the weather, but that`s gardening. If you want another try, I don`t see why you can`t use poly, as long as the cut is not allowed to heal. Regarding the Growmore, you need to use it every 10 days or so.You asked a couple of posts ago for some suggestions for your Wolf multi tool. I would suggest the hoe, rake and cultivator attachements. Certainly the hoe is going to be well used at this time of year.:thumb:

 

Hi Dai. Ok, I`m gonna try poly next time. I`ve already got the attachments you suggest but, in addition I`ve also got a soil `miller`. Looks like a nice tool used for preparing seed beds and turning in compost and the like. A bit expensive at £35, but was a birthday present and is very robust, so should last forever ! Cheers...freddy.

 

Evening freddy, I assume a " miller " is a type of tiller? Is it a fixed width, or can you reduce the size to use between rows of plants?

 

Dai, look here http://www.worldofwolf.co.uk/shop/?...ction=view_product&productID=DAM&category=104

 

Looks good freddy, that`s designed to be used between rows, as long as the soil is already cultivated.

 

Hi Dai. You`re saying it doesn`t do what it says it does ?

 

Nope, it will do exactly as it says it will do. Haven`t you tried it yet?:D

 

Hi Dai. Haven`t really had the opportunity. I`ve added M/P compost to most of my raised beds, so they are already pretty good for sowing in. Seemed to me like a nice tool to use to prepare for sowing seed. Cheers...freddy.

 

Freddy, what do you think this tiller will do?

 

Well.....I assumed it would do what it says. Mostly preparation for sowing/planting. Not so ?

 

Hi again. Just by way of update, the rest of my greyhound`s are looking really good (to me anyway). The sowings that I made a couple of weeks ago are ready for potting up and hopefully will be planted out in a couple of weeks or so, which means the `experiment` can re-commence, this time using polythene to keep the cut open. Cheers...freddy.

 

I believe you can do it,freddy. All the best.:thumb:

 

Another update. The other day I noticed that the two plants that got blown down(which I left in) have sprouted from the seedling leaf axle, interesting ! Any thoughts Dai ? Cheers...freddy.
