    Honey Analysis

    Honey Analysis

    Honey Analysis

    Got a good idea... Had a message on FB from a bloke who has a common local name over a year ago, didn't respond to it. Don't like the family, wont go into why.. Back in July had another MSG from him asking me how a close family member of mine was doing. Being polite, I politely answered...

    Honey Analysis

    ADMINS if in wrong section please delete or move. There is a story about the analysis.. During the latter half of September I was being plauged by PMs on FB asking why I was selling my honey so cheaply (I sell the honey for £5 per pound then add the price of the jar etc on top) The common...

    Check if your anti virus is set to "Secure search" I use Mcaffee, and it changes my search prefernces to "Secure search" when "Er indoors" does a search on her PC.. I also had a problem with Google doing the same.

    If they are "cheapo" plastic pots, cut/break the bottoms off the pots, loosen the soil at the bottom of the plant and slide a grow bag under.

    God I love growing our own

    I never spray mine. In the past I found spraying incourages mildew. To help them pollinate I give the "supports" a couple of taps. I also pour water over the paths to increase humidity on hot sunny days.

    God I love growing our own

    9 inch pot is too small for cues. I only grow Marketmore 76, smallish fruit and gives a good crop. Cues do like a good "feed" and water.

    God I love growing our own

    Approx 20ft X 10 ft... A fellow gardener copied the way we made ours, but his was approx 35 ft x 15 ft. The biggest problem we had was driving the scaffolding pipes deep enough into the ground without damaging the tops of them.

    God I love growing our own

    After seeing the price of Polytunnel kits adverised, and the "suspect" quality , I made my own from second hand scaffolding pipe, blue alcathene water pipe, and a really good quality plastic sheeting from a good supplier.. plus of course some timber. It isn't pretty to look at but it was made...
