Pots or Bags - The choice is yours!

Pots or Bags – The choice is yours!

Harvested onions and potatoes last longer by NOT storing them together. I didn’t know this before and I have always stored them together. Now I know – and so do you. Actually I like to string the onions which would keep them away from each other.

Stringing is just a way of plaiting with a piece of string woven into it. They are very showy when hung on the outside of the larder door.

How do you store yours?

Life gets more interesting every week as I tangle with the few pitfalls of the Brief Video.  Sylvia’s Briefs now have 304 issues but only four with the video. It’s difficult to believe.  Technology is something of a miracle so here is the video version……

Another lovely week has passed and we welcomed a short shower for the garden. Everything has grown really well and there seem to be less plant failures this year. Maybe – just maybe – I am improving as a gardener. Gardening is a lovely challenge and the possibilities offered by changing seasons and changing plant varieties make every garden a unique opportunity.

Food is precious……Gardening Works!

Wooden Wormeries Really Do Work

WOW_small1This is the time of year that worms are most active. They have lots of baby worms hatching rapidly as the waste mounts up. In a Wooden Wormery you do not have the complications of plastic Wormeries where they can sweat and smell. Wood gives a natural environment together with a living space similar to that in the ground where they normally live.

Wormeries are excellent places to place uncooked food waste for recycling.  If you add a large amount of food waste in one go then cover it with a little soil or the remains of pot plants to subdue any decomposing smells.

See into the World of Worms with the Compact WOW Observational Wormery. Watch the worms at work and monitor the wonderful changes they make within the compost as it turns into garden soil.

The Compact WOW comprises the wormery, observation panel, cover for observation panel and lid. No Nails, No Screws No Holes to Dig. We have simplified the options for this fascinating activity. This is worms the way they are naturally in a single area of ground. No special feeds. No moving worms around. No special recovery prescription!
