Looks great, but so dry!

How do you prove chicken pellets are organic? I doubt that they come from free range chickens, roaming free and fed on organically grown, non GM corn with natural spring water, un-vaccinated and with the rapt attention of a protective cockeral, roosting in the trees at night etc..............have you ever tried to collect those droppings?

Looking good, we all so need some rain, had a bit in Derby today, just enough for a wind up and to bring out the slugs and snails!  :)

woooo take it easy, i am just saying the box said it was organic thats all. but yes so dry had rain for 2 days running now so should hopefully get better, but the front patch which is covered is much better as it was manured but if you go 1cm under the soil across the plot the soil is still wet belive it or not.
