Interesting batch of post for me today
The first thing to arrive in the post was this - A Cultimate from The Grumpy Gardener range. It is a new multiuse single pronged weeder that lifts the entire root of a weed in one go.
Please see the video which explain how it works.
I must admit I found it rather useful! We now have more raised beds and I found the Cultimate got dandelions out just as the video shows.
I also picked up a copy of Kitchen Garden magazine, which had some free seeds and a useful dry wipe note board. That will be useful in the polytunnel! The seeds will be added to my collection for use on my Master Composter stall at the various summer shows and events I do. I always offer the option of seed sowing when I do a stall as well as offering advice and demonstrations on composting.
Finally, I have been sent some interesting seeds to try by Marshalls Seeds. I shall get planting them and will report back on how they grow, look and ultimately taste :) I do like the look of them on the packets I must admit :)
I love getting surprise parcels :)
Ha ha, at the beginning I thought you were going to say it was your birthday:) Like you, I think getting parcels is lovely!
ReplyDeleteIt IS Compostman's birthday today :) And mine on the 29th :)
DeleteI love getting presents in the post! It is such a good feeling. I got two packets of seeds today from our local council today- courgettes and carrots. They will planted soon.
ReplyDeleteSince we moved I have no compost/ water butt etc. I am looking at getting new ones. What is the best/ most useful do you think?
Happy April Birthdays in the Compost home!
