Great update Ivan, everything is looking good in the greenhouse, sorry you lost the chinese cabbage. Thanks for the heads up on compost and fertiliser, will be going to Wilko and home bargains tomorrow. Thanks for sharing.
As always, great advice & pleased to see you shop at two of my favourite stores.
In for a cold snap over the next week here I think. Hope its all good all of you.
You can also make tomato feed from Comfrey leaves steeped in water
Personally, I wouldn't risk changing to a different compost to save 3 pound. Especially if you've tried and tested a compost with no problems for years
Hi, great advise, thank you. Just a note – you can get Gro-sure , multipurpose compost 3 x 50ltr bags for £12 at B&M( the ones that has a garden centre). Looking forward on feedback on the Wilko compost, if it is any good, £9 for 3x50ltr bags sound’s definitely like a bargain 👍
Deffo down HB in the morning,cheers.
Your seedlings are looking good. Need to get more of mine started this week.
Looks like you are really prepped. Great reminder…I need to check my supplies as well. You are correct….March is coming!!!
I used that gro-sure all last year and thought it was alright 🙂 have changed this year to one that the range are stocking (J Arthur bowers one in red packaging) which is 100L for £9 or 2 bags for £15. Have dispersed 600L around the garden so far and have only found one piece of metal in total through all the bags so I'm pleased with that 😁
My local Homebase is closing down so I've been grabbing whatever I can from there. Got a bag or 2 of compost, but no where near the value you've been getting! Our local Wilkos is in a shopping centre, so it wouldn't be easy to carry 3 bags of compost back to the car. I'll be looking in Home Bargins for the other stuff, and I'm planning a trip to Poundland next weekend!
Please keep the suggestions coming, your UK specific recommendations are very much appreciated!
Thanks Ivan, for this great update on this lovely sunny day. Take care and all the best. Stevie
Hi Ivan,
Cheers for the update
My hose broke too I think it's the frost.
Have you thought about buying compost in bulk ton bags? Meant to be cheaper overall
Cheers
I am using my own homemade compost this year it’s taken nearly a year and a half to make but worth it to make my compost last longer I v been buying coco coir blocks add water and it expands to 10 litres to save compost
Hi Ivan, I love watching your programs, your no fuss no mess and say it as it is, thank you, look forward to watching more programs.😀
Just popped down to home bargains and got the tomato and seaweed feed. 😁 Thanks for the tip 👍
