terryd 8,043 Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 Decided today to turn over one of the one ton bags of compost as per the instructions. Been putting it off as I expected a mass of weed roots but got a nice surprise. Once I scrapped the top off with the courgettes it was good stuff. Come spring then I can just throw it back on capped with cardboard and bit of tin till the spring. Definitely do more of that bit of turning over cabbages too far gone now much prefer small tender ones last of the squashes 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was wondering how it would store but started after 3 or 4 pulls well made that digger better than the daft old mower i got its pretty new and luck to start it next day let alone next year picked some leeks, sprouts and big old parsnip for the potential son in law and family as well Edited February 19, 2017 by terryd Quote Link to post Share on other sites

forest of dean redneck 11,190 Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 Not seen any club root, we got rats lol behind where I was standing is the dual carriageway that runs from Ross on wye to Newport , then out of camera shot is the river wye ,then to the right is the river monnow so between the river banks and the discarded food from vehicles we got plenty of the vermin. Under the old apple tree are my compost heaps ,going to get a sieve and go through them as to much soil in them and rats are living in there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
