I have read that spider plants reduce humidity, has anyone else found this to be true or not? Or is it true for any other plants. ![]() January 24, 2021, 19:27:46 by George the Pigman
Views: 225 | Comments: 7 Well I have always been a fairly conventional allotmenteer - certainly as regards plot management. I have a standard sized plot with rather clayey soil and usually plant and sow things across it in rows. I have done this for nearly 30 years whilst most allotments on site have gradually moved to raised beds.The only raised bed I have is one I set up for blueberries so I could try and keep the soil on the acidic side. Now, as age takes its toll, and digging gets harder I have decided to bite the bullet and to move to raised beds to make things a bit easier. I also can see the advantage of being easily able to erect netting and fleece on the beds where necessary. But where to start! Should I set up raised beds for all my veg? Surely not for potatoes?? Should I have a mixed plot with raised beds and rows? Normally I rotate the plot every year. How does rotation work with raised beds -particularly if I have a mixed rows/raised beds plot. Anyone any advice or opinions? ![]() January 23, 2021, 21:20:52 by Digeroo
Views: 216 | Comments: 7 I do like jiffy plugs. I bought 100 but that does not seem to be that many. They are expensive. But I think they will make potting on much easier. What do people think? I cannot decide whether to splash out get 1000. They can come out of my petrol budget. I am just not going anywhere. Asda are delivering for £6 a month. They are much cheaper pro rata and would probably last me a couple of years. I cannot decide. |
