Thanks for all the wonderfull advice.

I will make another bed up and transferr them accross.

Could anybody tell me what would be a good crop to plant in the spaces between my peas?

Ive planted my peas in a raised bed and used wire mesh and canes in a zig zag pattern.

The space left between the zig zags i have planted my cucumbers.

Just been to wilco's and they are selling beer kits for £5. So if you can get the bottles for nothing and the brewing bucket for nowt all you need is sugar and steralising solution. It should cost you around £7 altogether for about 40 pints. That's around 17p a pint, not bad. Cheers andy i shall ...

So feeding the ants jam and leaving them alone my crops should be ok?


It was hard writing that whilst chucckling at fees comment

I've been reading up and plan to make a wormery this year. if you decide to go ahead, post here and I'll try to 'cut and paste' the instructions for a DIY one that costs next to nothing!
