Sprouts-you may laugh
« on: December 16, 2003, 18:11:04 »
But on my light soil I cannot grow them. So last winter I trod down a piece of my garden almost every day,by spring it was well compacted.

Then I drilled a hole-and I do been drilled-a flat bit on my chordless-popped the plants in and stamped all around them.  I will have sprouts for Christmas ;D,I know this may seem extreme-anyone else silly enough to go to such things for something they like?

Stephan.

I'll swap you some of your nice fine soil for some of my thick clay type.We're never satisfied are we.?

Hi there,
Delighted to hear of your sprout dance.  My sprouts fall over and I do what is now obviously a half-hearted dance to encourage them.  From now on I'll firm the soil down non-stop till sowing/planting.  Many thanks,
Em         :D
