    I found an old leather waistcoat that I had many years ago when I was clearing out the garage, I don’t want to chuck it as it was quite expensive it’s gone a bit hard but hasn’t cracked yet I’ve read that castor oil is quite good to soften it but just wondering if anyone has any other advice ? cheers

    Weed never killed anyone, safer than alcohol and smoking tobacco anything can be abused even to much water will kill you the odd smoke of pure weed or use a vape I think is safe as

    I think it takes a couple years for it to get working proper but he says just use fertilisers if needed when you first start it I like it cause I don’t have running water down the holding only what I can collect off my shacks and field shelter I have enough ibcs for I think 11000 litres but that doesn’t last long in a heatwave I says once established he almost never has to water

    I stopped using liquid fertilisers a couple years ago now I just dig in some manure handful of organic chicken pellets handful of oyster shell a sprinkle of volcanic rock i grow in the same plot every year and mulch it with about 8-10” of leaves every autumn when there growing I use my own pee every 3rd watering 500ml to a 12lt can ? I know but look it up ? once every two weeks I give Epsom salts and bit of sea weed extract then just potash for flowering last couple years been the best buds I’ve ever grown ?

    I watched a thing called ‘back to Eden gardening’ bit of a long thing about 1h40mins but found it quite interesting it’s no dig based on Woodchips, I’m going to do part my veg patch with it in autumn
  20. trapperman
    The back gardens been a bit of a hole since the kids had rabbits and stuff been nice to finally get it sorted, doing it cottage garden style wild flowers and herbs etc with some fruit and veg here and there Built a pergola thing out of my own coppice from the holding, I’m no chippy but it turned out quite nice, rustic is what I call it that means I did it all by eye ? got a honeysuckle to grow up it
  21. trapperman

    We shut our sweet shop on Saturday so my wife’s now not earning a penny ive got 12 hours a week on my largest garden contract where I’m in eight acres of gardens on my own, so I hope I can keep doing this, my hours will go to 20 from May if I get told not to do this then we have zero income so a bit worried going forward but similar to wilf I have a 4 acre smallholding so I’m spending all my spare time there, just extended the veg patch an extra 15mx7m if I can stop thinking about the money worries and if we’ll lose our shop etc then it’s actually really nice to be doing
