The "Grow Your Own" Thread

Funnily enough I’d chucked down some of that miracle gro all-in-one stuff a few weeks ago and the weeds have pretty much gone and the lawn is greener, but given the scorching weather and potential drought there’s an interesting section on the site about that.

I think it’s basically saying you need to use liquid feed as the soluable type raises the roots and makes it very susceptible to heat/drought damage.

Needless to say you can go on forever but that was something to think about.

Everything early this year. Blackcurrants already picked and made into jam and I’ll be feasting on broad beans for a few days.

So how do you get grass seed to grow? All mine seem to become was pigeon food and I’m left with the same patches.

Well I lobbed some seed in all the cats ears patches during the all the rain we had. Only just growing now. About half the holes have some grass and the other half have fresh cats ears as I struggled to get the full root on some. They can just stay there now, sod it.

I did that at the weekend. Spent the previous day digging those bastard cats ears out, what a shit job, the garden looked like the Somme ( Jasper).
