I bet Shane was so pleased you chose to help him out and now he has basically got a clean slate to start his projects. Great work both of you and nice to see a frog too.

The frog has to be named Gary after the missing member of your team 😂 I suggest the no-till method instead of digging the weeds out of the new beds, gather loads of cardboard and convince Shane he needs to invest in a bulk load of compost

@acreslawncare 7 күн бұрын

👍 I like this idea the only issue is access gate into the allotments is steep, and the walk from the gate is very narrow it not impossible but would need to have a look into it

Before you go planting, I'd suggest making and placing slug traps around the yard! Have some dishes of yeast and water or beer and place them in some low dishes or saucers. Caffeine also kills them so if you have coffee grounds, spread them around! It'll also be beneficial to plants or if there's a coffee shop around see if you can get a bag or bucket of coffee grounds that otherwise would be thrown away. I go with the coffee grounds method but also mix in diatomaceous earth as it too is a pest repellent. For the fig, apple tree, and grape vines you can use copper strips around the trunks/base of the vines as slugs really don't like them. If you have some budget you could get copper screens and they'd need to be at least 6 inches tall above ground (hold on that 's in Freedom Units, I think that would be 15.5cm across the pond for you) and buried a few inches in the soil. Slugs get a shock that they don't like as their slime trail and the high conductivity of the copper gives them the shock of their life!

First building project should be a double compost bin setup. On to pile in food scraps, dry grasses, etc and the other to turn the compost into. Some have 3 bays, the third is for 'finishing' the compost. Two big rocks placed close to the edge of the pond and frogs and the other water creatures, bugs can get a drink without drowning.

I Think I Would Call the Frog..."Froggy" !! 🐸 You 2 did a Marvelous Job!! 💯 See you Alex or With Shane!! Take Care & have a Lovely Evening Alex & Family!!❤ Shane You as Well!! 💖 Love Barb from Central Illinois USA❣

@lindaarbogast6499 5 күн бұрын

great job with the clean up! so glad Alex came and helped. the pond needs cleaning, stagnant water is a recipe for mosquitos and their eggs are in there too. Put in a closed circuit water feature to circulate the water and you will have more frogs and toads come hang out in that pond. it's cool to see the frog there, It's a big frog I would call it Brutus or brute for short. Keep up the good work, can't wait to see what you grow in your garden. Fresh soil is needed as the slugs have robbed the soil of its nutrients. Good luck with keeping it low cost. Show us what you got going on. super excited for you.

I know its a bit like chalk and cheese because they are designed for two different jobs Technically, but that do you prefer? ego or stihl, I went back to using the ego hedge trimmer multitool, after using the kombi with hedge trimmer, and have to say the ego is much lighter, the activation switch is so much better, but wow the power is so underwhelming after using stihl, I was originally a stihl 131 kombi petrol but went to ego, because I wanted to go battery, after having problems with the batteries, I invested in the stihl battery kombi 135r. its heavy that bloomin switch when hedge trimming is a ballache, but really is a powerful bit of kit, just need that switch sorting.

Does your local council sell compost? Most do from their recycling. Cheaper than going to the garden centre! Our local household recycling site also sells stuff, and they stock a lot of garden tools. I do not understand why people just not sell the contents with the garden shed when they sell the house. Just so the new owners needs to be new tools!
