Post Edited: 23.04.2022 @ 10:10 AM by dannyboy73 Hey, just thought...unlike the brainwashed cults- extinction rebellion as example, i like to offer solutions... So how about, even with little space you can still grow strawberries...from hanging baskets! we have some planted in the fruit patch and in a planter but intend to have hanging baskets in addition.  | |||

| https://www.gbnews.uk/news/supermarkets-limit-cooking-oil-purchases... Cooking oil shortage...(apparently) its all the evil Russians of course. Regardless, to those who have been paying attention, if you havent already put plans in place to supplement your mid-long term food supply. The hour is already late. | |||

| well, i think we do this the same...we started our sunflower seeds off indoors and then transfered to the greenhouse when I had completed it. They were then planted outdoors in 24 spaces. The pumpkins we hope to plant will be the common orange ones. I will keep you posted as my wife is doing all the science behind the timings etc and jornalising everything...typical scientist. Funky_monkey said: Did you plant the sunflowers in the greenhouse to start with, or directly outdoors? My indoor ones have 100% germination rate, and outdoor 2 weeks later have 0% germination rate. Pretty sure it was too cold for them outside. How much poop you putting in the pumpkin patch? Which variety? I would love to grow some here in the UK, but not got the space for them. I have started pulling out radishes and eating them with a bit of dirt still on them - zero washing needed! | |||

Post Edited: 21.04.2022 @ 20:48 PM by dannyboy73 we had some radish and rocket tonight. turns out, we all like radish...perhaps i do because it was free oh, and we planted the sunflower seeds yesterday...and the melons are shooting....oh and forgot to say, we are having a pumpkin patch as well. Im thinking it will be nice for Halloween and the seeds will be of value (nutritional and calorific). | |||

| if you were one of those misled unfortunates, you might just think the governments want food shortages...But of course, we all know the governments are only looking out for our best interests, arnt they? ops, almost blanked out the past 2 years, must be the sun. scruffmcbuff said: Thanks mate, I've got the ideal spot at the back of my garden. Have you seen the governments new initiative, offering lump sums for farmers to quit farming or retire early. | |||

| If you have the room and access to pallets... I put 3 pallets together upstanding in a square in a C shape...some 2by2 at the front to create slots which I cut and slided scaffold boards into. I did the as a 3 bay system poached from this video: scruffmcbuff said:Danny, any advise on making my own compost pit/area of course, years ago, my granddad just had a compost pile at the back of the garden just be sure to have the compost away from the house unless you want rodents in your loft... | |||

| we are planning to do the same and also we have comfrey seeded and ready to plant. luki said:I spent an hour or two collecting and making stinging nettle fertiliser. It's a good way to save on buying store bought food. I put it by my my back wall so my neighbors can enjoy the rhino farts smell as it bubbles away for the next two weeks. Their cat keeps using my new planting as a loo. Seems like appropriate karma... | |||

Big bed od sprouts and no dig ready for beans and peas. She planted some caulies this afternoon and broccoli... We have multiple buckets inbetween the greenhouse/ beds with potatoes in... letuce outside as well and carrots in buckets. and other stuff Ive forgotten already... we are getting through loads of compost...will be a while before we have our own of use. Yea, its going alright. we have low expectations which helps. | |||
