just a few random thoughts about what i have learned over the year and mistakes i have made ,might help someone else .
ok
bamboo --is not a tree its a grass ,so dont go looking in a forstery nursery for one
seedlings burn in a greenhouse
watering from the top into small pots is not good ,water runs straight out the bottom, better stand it in a tray of water.discovered that the hard way
soil preparation
burying grass weeds ,does not work, another lesson learnt
spraying or better still ,have found black polythene from silage covers .laid on ground for a few months give great results,
last but not least
planning, planning ,planning , cripes i got that wrong badly.Planted lots badly
anyway next year hope to do better
p.s
Has not been a total diaster ,got a nice crop of potatoes ,oninons, peas,carrotts ,parsnip, and sweet corn |
