  Hi All,
  The weather here today as i tap away is a bit iffy "if thats a word,
  What i mean is at 8am the boss "her indoors" wanted to go to an outdoor french market to buy bacon from an english butcher,
  
  Yes i know what your thinking "why live in france and buy english cut bacon"
  Well so im told the french cut bacon is'nt the same, and "the boss" likes the english sauages, So off we go and we arrived at the market dressed to kill,
  
  white shorts, coloured shirt jeuse christ wellies (sandle's ) to those who dont know the difference, and the wife had her summer dress on, well after the butcher's visit we sat outside the "Cafe" and enjoyed a coffee just whatching the the world go by,
  
  It was then the wind turned cold, the big black cloud appeared and the outside area of the cafe became empty except for us two and the die hard smokers,
  
  Who coined those words 'June flaming June ????
  
  
  
  Now the warning ref home made compost,
  
  Ive given lots of advice over the years as to why you should make your own compost, and ive only given advice i know is good advice, But this week ive had a call from a (now) friend ref a lot of his plants ending up dead and he couldnt understand why!
  
  After visiting his place i soon discovered what the problem was,
  His home made half rotted compost.
  
  If you use half rotted compost your poisoning your plants and not feeding them, You must ensure the complete compost has fully rotted down and no sign of any green or unrotted is left.
  A good way for you to see for yourself what a good compost looks like is to buy a bag of vacuumed packed compost from the garden centre,
  
  Look at the colour & then feel the texture, And aim to have your completed compost the same.
  
  A second good idea for your home making of compost if your short of space is to dig a trench or hole and put your waste into it and then recover with the taken out soil and leave this space to rot away , the area will be composted in a few months and ready for planting.
  
  Regards Punpun

  Punpun, this is the only way i compost. They same way that my mum, grandad and great grandad all did it. If it ain't broke don't fix it
  
  I do this for my peas, runner beans, purple sprouting broccoli, leeks, courgettes and sweetcorn. This way is simply the best, you get fantastic results and of course, once it is placed in the soil thats it, no more work as the food for the plants is there for them to use at their leisure.

  When i wasa kid, the only grass by us was the railway, and us kids would see the signal men digging holes and putting things in the holes (treasure) we thought,
  All through the six weeks school holidays we'd sneak up and dig these "treasure holes up) all we'd find was waste,
  But sometimes we'd hide and hear the signal men say "those bl--dy fox have been and dug up the waste again,
  One day they nearly caught us and we hid under the station signal box only to hear one of them say "Fox " well i dont think so, why was the reply from his mate,
  well if it is a fox he's got a better spade than ive got, look what ive just found!
  
  It was my granddads spade of many years use never to be used by him again.
  
  Have you ever wanted to say sorry for something you did years ago???But never did?
  Sorry grandad.
