The Hogitat - An Alternative Place for Hedgehogs To Shelter

At this time of year, many animals want to go into hibernation particularly Hedgehogs and bonfires can provide what appears at first sight to a Hedgehog to be a perfect place.  Sheltered from the wind and the rain, they crawl into warm and dry piles of wood. The unlit bonfire may seem an oasis for many animals in the winter but when the fires get lit, tragedy occurs.

Many people start building bonfires weeks in advance but if possible, it would be great if you could pile them up the bonfire at the last minute as this way you’ll be able to see if any animals have taken refuge underneath it.

Another thing that you could also consider doing is if a bonfire has erected in the same place for a few days,you could ask for volunteers and move all the wood to a different spot. It wouldn’t take long and could save the life of a sheltering animal.

Sylvia with a selection of giant pumpkins

But even before the days of Christianity, there was a celebration at this time to signify the changing of the season, and the preparations for the winter months ahead.

The Celts introduced the idea of wearing masks and costumes to ward off evil spirits at this time, and the Romans included the idea of fruit to the festival…which is still seen today with toffee apples and apple bobbing.

What will you be doing this Halloween? Maybe having a party or carving your own lantern?

Let us know as we’d love to hear from you!

Scarecrows are a fabulously imaginative present for Christmas, Halloween, Guy Fawkes Night, Birthdays and Anniversaries. In fact do you really need an excuse to buy one? They are simply unique!

This wonderful family of handmade Scarecrows will quickly become part of your own family. They assume a life of their own and watch out, they can suddenly put their arms round you, quite unexpectedly!

Napus and Cascara when extended fully stand at about 2m high, including the removable standing post which needs to go 40cm in the ground.

So why not extend your family and give a scarecrow a home! To see all the scarecrows available simply click here.

We all love trees but all those leaves can be troublesome.  Keep them separate from your general compost in this jumbo leaf mould composter - a simple and effective way to handle bulky leaves in autumn.

Just the job!

Children Love Gardening Too!

Their online survey included over 1000 people and concluded that over 59 percent of people had begun to grow their own food because ‘increases in food prices mean I’m trying to be more economical’.

Another 22 percent said that they had less disposable income to spend on food and therefore this was a way to obtain more expensive edibles.

So why do you love GYO so much and what do you love about growing your own food? Is it saving money, having fresh produce or being outdoors and getting lots of fresh air and exercise? We’d love to hear from you!

Love your environment! Love your GYO!

Jumbo Leaf Mould Compost Bin from The Recycle Works

Many gardeners refer to their Leaf Mould Compost as ‘gardeners gold’ as you can’t buy it in any shop but it’s properties are amazing for working on the soil and vegetables.

Simply stack the leaves in a Leaf Mould Compost Bin and don’t forget that your leaves should be good quality but damp and if they’re not, simply add water then leave them alone!

In a year’s time you’ll have a mulch that’s brown and crumbly and if you can possibly stand the wait and leave it alone for two years then it should be  fine enough to sieve into compost perfect for potting!
