Ok good, because the moment I think I got it, I realise I haven’t. So beautifully bonkers. I guess I’ll just keep dying and eventually work it out.

Hori-hori for sure!

Thanks! Trying to keep the progress ticking over so that the plot is ready for sowing and planting madness

This is worrying news for the U.K. since Viticulture is the fastest growing sector of Agriculture.

I did research on this to make a mammoth #Hügekkultur bed at work. N’ lockup happens when bacteria dominate fungi (more likely when surface contact with soil is higher: i.e. woodchip).
Logs and branches should breakdown without robbing significant nitrogen but will speed up on introduction of N’.

Thanks! I planted ‘Red Devil’ at my last allotment which I’d trained over an arch so couldn’t dig out. I taste a few yummy cultivars here at Wisley each year so I’m sure I’ll have a long wish list soon.

Currently, none! I grafted a couple of ‘George Carpenter’ (from West Byfleet) last year in my first attempt and gave one away which happened to be the successful graft. I love red fleshed apples so I’ll probably try to source one like ‘Bloody Ploughman’. Any recommendations?

Thank you! Get planting some Salix viminalis, you’ll get loads of material off it. Maybe a dead hedge frame would work too.

Thanks, was going to have a weekend off but my car has decided it needs a spa day so I guess I’ll spend it at the allotment again 😂🌱

Gorgeous marking!
