Sylvia Hopwood’s Thoughts On The Equinox

equinox, recycle works, spring, Sylvia Hopwood

sylvias-new-laptop1This time always brings with it lots of optimism and anticipation of good garden opportunities to come. I just love it. Everywhere one looks and everywhere one goes this feeling of good hope follows. Ok so it is pouring with rain today! It is a bit chilly too. On the good side it is spring rain falling lightly and evenly on the soil at a pace it can absorb. This kind of rain will not damage young plants. They love it. It feeds the roots gently.

Pause to listen. The dawn chorus lasts all day. There is so much activity going on in hedges and yes the sign we all look for – the grass is growing again! And, dare I say so, so are the Slugs. Worms are everywhere at the moment, busy recycling most of the garden waste. Both these garden creatures are breeding and as worms have no gestation period their population explode to match the work available. Three cheers for the blossoms out now!

whelping_box2You asked us for Whelping Boxes made from the same unique construction we use for all of our Wooden Gardening Products and we introduced our wonderful range of Dog Whelping Boxes.

I and hundreds of our customers have used this construction with great success and the best thing was being able to close it up small and put it away until next time.

Add our version of a four sided optional ‘Pig Rail’ to the Classic and Big Square sizes which will help preventing newly born pups from being crushed accidentally by their heavy mothers.

Quote Discount Code: WHELPING10

Fitted Wooden Floor option keeps away draughts and are made from 2cm thick solid wood boards treated with non toxic preservative. For hygienic and safety reasons it is highly recommended that the floor is fully lined with a plastic tablecloth type of material. The wooden floors are available for both the Big Square and Classic size boxes.

Offer only available until Sunday 30th March 2014.

edible_garden2More and more schools and gardeners are discovering the benefits of growing in Raised Beds. Here are the top seven reasons to use one!

1. You can match the type of soil in your Raised Wooden Bed to suit your plants or if you live in an area with poor or heavy clay soil you can fill your Wooden Raised Beds with a good growing medium.
2. Raised Wooden Beds take the bending out of gardening and provide easy access gardening for the young, old and the disabled.
3. Raised Wooden Beds offer improved drainage which is good news for those that live in an area prone to flooding and also during prolonged wet weather.
4. Crops are easily reached without walking on the soil so there is no compaction meaning less digging and less work.
5. The soil warms up much faster in Spring enabling you to plant earlier crops.
6. They are easy to cover with film, fleece or netting to protect crops.
7. They are suitable for growing a wide variety of Soft Fruits, Vegetables, Herbs, Flowers, Alpines, Small Trees and Shrubs.
