Fiona and I sort and lay out the oak boards which are a little variable in quality, and end up cutting down to size and matching up.

The Miscanthus stems always get saved stacked in the green lane sheds – handy for bamboo stakes alternatives, or perfect for kindling. After 6 months with no ommph to get started, William and I finally begin to construct the walls for the planned shepherd’s hut (SH).If this isn’t possible and you require the skip to be kept on the road/public highway, you will need a Road Permit. What was planned as a recovery day before a CHG meeting ends up being nearly completely exhausting – dragging up extra brash, etc and lugging up all the new timber to base camp 1 in the hay shed.

Prick out and pot on the tomato seedlings – a daily chore of carrying them into and out of the greenhouse each morning/dusk. sieboldii with a tiny brush, and this time I discover (since I switch to my reading glasses) that perhaps only 15% of the forms are the more fertile Pin form. I tried switching an existing flower bed to a no dig bed recently – I put down cardboard and covered with a thick layer of manure. Whether you will need a permit or not depends on the type of vehicle you are bringing to the recycling centre. Currently is no sign on the weather forecasts of daytime temperatures into double figures for the next month or so.Over the next 5 days these bags were repeatedly emptied and tossed on the big tarpaulins, and covered at night. Agricultural vehicles, horseboxes, tippers, flatbeds, caged vehicles, drop/curtain-sided vehicles and vehicles over 3. Earlier than last 2 years, but thank goodness no earlier in this horrendously wet and cold, late spring.

With just a few days to go until our first NGS garden weekend William and I spend a day lifting and potting up some of our named snowdrops bulbs – in the end we have about 20 different forms to sell.Cwm Environmental puts most of the compost into bags, brands it as Merlin’s Magic Compost and sells it at its civic amenity sites.

With it continuing to be Arctic, the tomato seedlings need carrying out to, and back from the greenhouse morning and night. Should you have excess waste to be collected please book this in with the office prior to your collection day, excess waste will be chargeable. As soon as the cuts have rooted well he puts them in 12/12 and ends up with one long running cola on each. The fan you see in the picture blowing down the tube is like a booster fan, ensuring plenty of air through the tube. If you applied more than 12 months ago and you still have more than 3 tickets left, then continue to use them.The last 2 days were so cold, and the ground so frozen that chainsaw work was the only outside option – cutting back many gradually falling old willows along the bank of the upper wet meadow.
