I've been running one or another variety of Linux as my main OS at home for several years. At the moment, I'm with Ubuntu. - Magnus How do you find it? I've got a straight Debian build on a couple of servers at work but I can barely remember when I didn't run SuSE on my desktop. However, with the v...

Can you make up this kind of feed by just drowning nettles, comfrey, dandilions, etc in an old water butt or somat? I think I heard on JV show the other day that on the alotment they were using some weed soup to kill green fly but I missed the programme. Can anyone help me here? You need a good pic...

You need a high potash feed to encourage fruit growth rather than a high nitrogen content which encourages green growth. High potash things include wood ash/BBQ ash so you could try that. Damn sight less smelly than nettle/comfry especially in an office. : The wood ash sounds like a good plan - I'v...

Thanks again...if the welcome gets any warmer I might have to start loosening some clothing.

Actually, I probably could've phrased that a bit better...

Anyway, I'm on the north-east corner of Fife so I probably qualify as a Dundonian.

Some of us are getting on a bit.

I might grudgingly give you VMS...

I'm a Linux sysadmin by day (and night too, sometimes!) and a potting-shed anarchist by, erm, evening and weekend?! Anyway...I'm happy to advise, console or debug where I can if anyone wants...

There's another good - and FREE - application called PDFCreator which I use on my Windows machine at work. Again, it creates a virtual printer which produces excellent PDF output...

I made some nettle feed and have been using it on one set of tomatoes only as a test. They are so far advanced from the others and the tomatoes that are growing are enormous already! I would def recommend the nettle! Nettle it is, then! :cooldude: That pig of yours scares me...it just seems wrong, ...

Hi, We're having a tomato growing contest on a windowsill at work and I'd be grateful for any advice you could offer on feeds, pampering, coddling, etc etc. The plants were all brought on from seed - in my coldframe at home - and are about 3" high at present. I think the unspoken rule is "...

Thanks for all the welcomes!

Believe it or not, I've just come up with something I need to ask about...just watch me make my first real post!

Just saying "Hi!"

This seems like a fun forum populated by pleasant folks.

This year I hope to produce something more than just compost from my garden...
