LOADS...n Loads...N loads.... as finally its dry n
HaPpY gardening everyone

 

Just applied iron sulphate to the lawns as a moss kill in certain areas and tonic all over. The palm and olive tree fertilisers have just arrived in Amazon lockers , so will give them a go later today .

 

I thought I’d have a go at weeding and sifting the soil pile. It’s still to wet and claggy to do much with. I was pleased to discover the “weeds” were (or appeared to be) baby daffodils. It’s quite possibly as there were daffodils in the area I dug out. I managed to dig out the bulbs and put them together in a big pot. I was wondering if I were going to have enough daffodils to spread around. Now I think I should be ok.

It's Cuprinol, @HarryS , from the garden shades range. Pretty sure it was called City Slate. It's a really nice deep colour; my wooden borders round the flowerbeds are painted with the same and it's held well through the winter too.

 

125 litre bag of compost , bought once never again ! Bloomin' evil weight.

 

I usually buying that one. Today I bought 3x50l for £10. I could ‘t Work out which deal was better. It’s definitely easier to handle the smaller one.

I should have checked the price at Homebase too. Everything is30% off. It might have worked out cheaper. It’s too late now.

 

A 120 litre man here too, from B&M.......all this rain has made the bags so much heavier but the cash saving makes the carrying worthwhile.
Mind you, carrying 2 bags of john innes seemed heavier

 

I buy 50 L bags, 4 for £10 cheapest I can find anywhere. I sure its one of the main reason to get people through the door, they can then start spending the rest of their money on plants £££ . I have a stock pile behind the shed 16 bags last time I checked but I did use a bag potting up the dahlias the other day.

 

Just showing off my strength of course ARMANDII.......

 

I want to raise the soil on all my beds. I am probably going to have to buy a bulk bag of it. Unfortunately it’s an expenses I can’t justify spending at the moment.

Screened Topsoil

This is still the best deal I’m ever going to get. Effectively £90 for 3 bulk bags inc delivery. As discussed before though I would need an army to transport it all from my drive to my back yard. I also have no experience in quantities so I don’t know how much I actually need. I still have 2 piles of my own soil to sift through first. Again if I had an army of helpers I might be able to get the sifting done quicker.
