Bootsha 1,306 Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 223, i'm envious mate, spot on with you fair play, not a weed in sight and lovely soil..........in a few years with regular turning and work, hopefully my soil will end up similar tilth. I have a target set by your lovely garden............ time to put some hard work in. I see you use sticks for your peas, i tried this year the big bale wrap ( the netting off the straw bales), once its all done and died back, just rip the lot up and burn it. i sound like a tramp now lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TWOTWOTHREE 152 Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 Cheers bootsha, the netting sounds like a plan I may even be a copy cat and try it lol.im all for simplicity and easy pickings.i love the gardening and its all about not letting it get the better of you.as much as I like a holiday I hate coming back to the weeds.my mate is going to chiuck the tiller through it a few times and ill do the same when he's away.its addictive as you may well know.i often get a bollocking from the mrs when I pop down for ten mins and don't re surface for 5 hours, theres always something to do, Atb Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My mate Martin and I work together so it's kept nice most of the time.i don't spend hours really on it just little and often with the full one day at the weekend, not Sundays that is chill out day. There is the same amount again behind the tunnels but that's mown grass for the poultry.well off to the garden now catch you all laters.
