    What a cool idea to have a giveaway group. The leaves on your apricot are looking lush. I have a glengarry, been in the ground for nearly four years and no fruit or even flowers, must be waiting for a really cold winter, seems to be juuuuust a bit too warm at our place for it right now.

    I dont live too far from greenlife. I keep meaning to head there and give their stuff a try. The products I get at my local hardware do not seem to be great quality. I got the baileys potting mix to up-pot my seedlings and a few of them shriveled up after a couple of days…plus, it seems to be mainly big chunks of bark and sticks. We have cows, goats, horses and alpacas. Every now and again I go into the paddock, get a tractor bucket load of the old hay that they have spread, stepped on, pooped and peed on and I put it into a big pile. Turn it every few months and just let it sit. I use that as mulch.

    • @Thecultivatingcurmudgeon
      @Thecultivatingcurmudgeon 10 дней назад

      Worth giving them a shot. I've found Baileys ok but made the mistake of getting Garden basics once, had a pH of 12!!! Killed anything planted in it. Sounds like a great mulch you get.

      Love to be able to answer but afraid I dont know what stickers are 😀I assume its a kind of inscect so the answer would probably be no. There doesnt seem to be any more pests but there are a lot more earthworms. (Just thought, maybe spell checker change from slaters? If so yes a few more but not enough to be an issue and they are helpful in the garden)

    Nice one mate. Quite common for the soil to drop with the typical potting mixes as the material breaks down. This can cause some issues with root health which isnt ideal. You can top it up, but then your actual plant is getting more deeply burried which can cause some flesh rot -not ideal! What id do would be get in the soil, break it all up around the roots and push in some more inert materials like some pummice or something similar to minimise the general compaction. Once you break up the soil a little around the roots, you'll find especially if your plant isnt too heavy that you can lift it up higher on the trellis.. secure it in the higher position then fill under and around it with the new goodies. Much harder on a well established plant. Hope that helps 👌

    This year (in the UK) was the first year I'd ever had to net my broad beans (Witkiem) to protect from birds. It was almost as if they waited for the perfect opportune moment and then wasted a whole row overnight. I'm tempted to point the finger at birdwatchers who've been feeding predator birds of prey thereby increasing the number of pests (pigeons, crows) in the region, but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. That said, this year I had hardly any blackfly (?) I generally start off as seedlings and once mature enough plant in a number of grids typically 11 x 4 in soil with well-rotted horse manure mixed in. I also mix in a bit of bone meal, chicken pellets and maybe some MiracleGro into each hole I plant them in. I boil mine in salty water for about 5-10 minutes. But that's exactly how I peel, clean and freeze 'em!

    I also used the Ice Bricks last summer once I repaired my worm farms after they all died in a previous years heatwave. 3 years for your compost ? At that size it must be getting to 60-70 degrees celcius, and surely would be cooked and ready for turning after 6 months at the maximum? It's looking like my batch will be ready within 12 months. I used some at 9 months that had worms through it. PS: Where can I get those 6m / 1.5m trellis that you have a stash of? There's a place in henderson I was going to go have a look at . Yours look pretty swish.

    it's going to be quite a chore replacing the soil without hurting the plants to much next season. To me it looks like something ok to use for a one season plant

      Good point, I will probably encourages some runners (like I did with the pineberry) and harvest those for next season.

    I have two main comments: 1) You forgot to order more clippers. Last time you only had 7! 2) So many missed opportunities to reference "That's not a knife..." I believe this means your Australian citizenship will be revoked :D
