You can use all the above but could be risking introducing disease into your ground. you are much better getting good stock to grow if you shop about its cheap enough look at your local cornstores a kilo of early peas costs about 2.00 70p for a hundred gram of beetroot seeds and also wilkos you can get onion sets about a 1.00 a bag three pkts of seeds for 1.50 or 2.50 for three depending on type its well worth shopping about plus you know there all good to grow.atb

Often wondered about that myself when the farmers set potatoes dont they earth them as there planted.

Hi Blacktabs, those nest boxes are not often used by TC's. IMO.... I dont doubt it JD theres a couple of pairs about but they havent been near the box. Think your onto a winner mate brilliant idea and easy to do youve definitely inspired me to have a go

Our council has just put up a load of boxes at the back of us. One sort is designed for treecreepers it has two holes at the top and is wedge shaped and fits to the trunk trouble is they put them high up and the only treecreeper nests ive ever found have been under ten foot up i think the design looks cushty can see it everytime i look out the kitchen window nothing is using it yet tits were roosting in it a month ago watched them getting in at night but they havent nested in it atb.

Lamb necks make the best currys a bit fiddly taking the bones out after cooking but better than leg meat imo.

Always looking when im out had some wood sorrel and garlic flowers on a salad yesterday found a good few wild onions on an old trackway near ours last week they havent flowered yet so not sure if they are chives or welsh onions but handy nevertheless. Plus the farmers planted loads of peas beans and carrots local will be using my gleaning rights when he starts cropping bless aspargus is flying on the lotty big spears this year atb

Top job that stove is well done mate My mate done a small version for the bow top last summer just put a door on and a tray for the ashes uses no fuel at all compared to the old pot bellied stoves and throws out more heat atb.
