Oh, dear! Probably should do some yoga before going to bed. When are you going to work today, Leeski?

No idea. I will ask him to send some photo, but the guy is disconnected, just like his mum! Sent him 3 emails and no reply to any of them. Must be angry at my bossing him around. Let me ask him to take photos.

Please tell me how I should prepare them. Thank you, Leeski!

Excuse grammar !

Excuse grammar !

I am the last person with whom you should worry about grammar!

I prep my s weed by laying on the lawn hose it down to get rid of excess salt then go over it a couple of times with the mower empty the mower into a container top with water stick lid on and wait a while till it stops stinking like road kill

Thank you for the heads up! He said he's going to get some more today. Does it matter what kind of seaweeds though?

Morning all!

No worries @alp ...I know how annoying those small images can be for 'older eyes'

Again learning something new again, @Leeski , never thought about the difference in seaweed. Which is best to use then?

Sunny for most of the day today , but fingers crossed we might get an hour of rain tom

Off to my Dad's today to do his housework and laundry

Have a good day everyone

Not really there all full of good nutrients just some break down quicker than others I can only get bladderrack the best seaweed tea consists of 80% s weed and 20% comfrey or nettles as the comfrey and nettles have slightly different micro organisms than s weed so you get the full package if that makes sense I’m no expert and will probably be corrected but the higher percentage of comfrey / nettles you use is more geared towards plants and flowers seaweed is more towards fruiting veg ie toms chillis another good additive is ash I save some coals from a bbq or fire and blitz them in food processor and add to my mix

Morning all,

Yes, I did see in the weather report that you would have a bit of rain. And I thought I might have some, so I used up quite a bit of rain water from the butts. But there was only drizzle.

Morning @alp
We were very surprised it wasn't supposed to happen.

 

[Leeski]

Morning upsy hope your well

@Leeski that's a great wormery that you've got there.

Got to do some housework today. Everything is wet in the garden so can't do any weeding, but the ground should be softer now.

Do you really use coal left overs? That sounds a bit out of this world. But I'm no expert and will research. Good morning Upsy - my eyes are even worse. At one point, I had to ctl + to make the page bigger and it was so big that I always missed another column and I went to complain to the power-that-be! Sorry! Power-that-be!

Morning Logan.

Need to sort out my laundry - another heavy curtain which will break the washing line.

@Leeski I was so nutty that I used my food processor on compost and then realised that that there were stones in it. Of course, the blade was blunted in the process.
