    Great update Jenny, just something to think about, you have a 60, I believe cell tray, as the onions grow on, we will be repotting them into bigger and bigger pots, unless you have some more grow lights you can use, I think you will run out of space for them, as these will be under the lights for quite a while. Another idea maybe to save some for planting at the end of December and not using grow lights for them, that’s what I’ll be doing. I think most people agree that a fan is a good idea, to circulate the air and help strengthen the plants. The supplements are for potting on later, but it’s great that you have them already, getting some mycorrhizal fungi might also be worth getting, as a lot of people use it, and it can be used for many other plants as well. Vitax do a good one, called Q4 rootmore I’m doing an onion live on my channel next Friday at 9 and Duncan will be on it as well, so if you have any questions, he will be happy to answer them. It’s great to have you growing along with us, keep up the good work and hopefully see you on the live next Friday, take care, Pete.

      My garden is FULL of couch grass and just can't seem to get on top of it. Even though it's covered it just seems to continue to run underground 😢😢

      @@Iamhome365 Yes it is really strong and survives by spreading underground. If you are using only cardboard you will need several layers to make it really thick and exclude light. This will need to be added onto as the cardboard degrades. Whatever cover you are using it can take at least a year to smother couch grass but you could use salt and vinegar around the edges - great weed killer as long as you don't put it where you want stuff to grow! Edges are good though as it should slow the growth and allow you to get on top of it. Keep it smothered, don't let it get to the edges where there is light and you will keep weakening it until it dies.

      Yes I read somewhere that some slugs eat only rotting material and some slugs eat other slugs! I've only had to clear the plot once and they were mainly those Spanish slugs! I will check out your channel, thanks very much.❤

    The thing about wood preservative is that it is poison designed to stop rot.
