time passes.....
im onto the next batch of chook muck pellets, in dibber holes and starting to go into the super compost starter
i have ordered a hozelock barrel composter,
this thing which seems a good compromise for urban, tub and heap are not appropriate, and i need to fit lots of things in a small space
the EC and Ph meters are here as dilution by hose from the drain tank would be rather random as i dont know the contents concentration which will change week by week
my plan is to try the spray thing into a bucket and EC/Ph that, then adjust dilution to refill the spray for application to soils etc
the solids will go towards restoring used composts
nowt that has or might have "awkward" chemicals will go in
there are plenty of things that can go in
the big boys are getting big and still have plenty of growing time before they get to building toms
i ordered 2 large deep trays for them, as a bucket size planter is a bit small for the water needs of these things
they will get pyramid frames (see 8 ft strong canes ) to support them while they fruit
the cucumbers are growing well
ditto all but one thyme
ditto the roses, very vigourous
ditto one of the two ferns
ditto the assorted herbs
ditto quite a few "natives" and some "forners" in various places
the mouse castle is almost greened with a large variety of spp which sequentially change over time
etc
of the two grafted rare breeds apples, the russety one has about 15 good fruit and the green shiny one has 3 rather promising apples
a lot of stuff for a small space , but it is a far bigger space than it was, and most of that space is in the sunny bits
i will do some snaps after the next couple of days work on it, the efforts so far deserve a proper debut, at last
im really pleased to have found a chap who i like, and he is pretty good at "adaptable" in terms of yardening to my crazy specs
overall the costs and efforts seem to be worth it, it has gone from marginal with wildlife to not bad with wildlife
a lot prettier and accessible, from my side, far less so from the outside
i cant get out and about much so making where i can get nice and useful seemed sensible |
