Hi TG, All joking apart, that poly tunnel is an absolute credit to you, and something for us all to admire. Thanks for sharing it. Back to chuckling, can I book it for me hollidays, two weeks in August :wink: Makes me tubs and planters in me back yard look like the Beverley Hillbillies. :oops: :chee...

Why can't they boil down the idea to its basics? The bods are already there so you don't need additional staff. We have an "unofficial" method here, instead of bunging it into the muck, you leave potentially usefull items this side of the fence for possible collection. S'pose a councillor ...

I'm on me way.
Plus, that poly tunnel is nicer than me house
Thanks folks

Apart from the recent hoolie that has been flattening most flattenable plants, what is the proper way to support Broad beans and tomatoes etc? At the mo' they are about 8-10inches tall, the toms are in their own little planter and me beans are dotted around a large planter as a thinned-out mob. Do y...

Hi Guys,

It is probably something discussed since time began, but.............

Most growy types have stuff left over and stuff they want.
Is a "Give and Take" section already in operation?

To be honest I could beat this topic until I got an ulcer but I won't. Not a problem that the guys who work at the dump get first sniff, my local auction sells what they salvage.

Even when they split the stuff, as ours does, there are still things which are too good to chuck.
I know the guys there take saleable gear, good on them, but it really bugs me that they are still dumping stuff in landfill that could be used.
I'm ranting now, sorry

I know very well that I am preaching to the converted. After some dabbling on the Freecycle network I wondered if it could be extended. When I go to the recycling centre/tip, I see stuff thrown away that has just outgrown its usefulness to ONE person, eg I am after some wood and someone has chucked ...

Thanks for the warm welcome, In another life, in another galaxy far far away we ran a fish and chip shop, call it a miss-spent adult-hood. I am going to continue bobbing around your great site and plan our future Some of our practice crops are in, salad leaves, herbs, broad-beans and tomatoes. Tryin...

Hi, My name is Ken from Todmorden in the old West Riding of Yorkshire. Me and my much better half have just moved out into the "sticks" and this grow as much as you can ideal has finally got a chance to be made real. One thing I have just read is an article by "Mike" on keeping h...
