Jean I was told to try Epsom salts on my tomatoes and Mandarin tree, apparently works a a treat. I dont use blood and bone 'cause most of my veggies are in raised beds which we prepare using sheep manure and good quality topsoil. I use a combo of Seasol and Powerfeed seems to work well.  I do have a cpl of flat bed garden but they have been well topsoiled, so planting isnt a prob, apart from my potato patch, I dont use any type of manure/fertilser when I am going to plant my root veggies

Today he planted spring onions, coriander, sweet corn, zucchini, cucumber, broccoli, radishes and chillies.  We'll see how it goes. 

 

I think the plan is to get into the front garden tomorrow, weeding and pruning.  I have a nasty feeling I'm included in this crazy plan Smiley Indifferent

Let's hope the snails leave 'em alone.

 

They can smell fresh seedlings a mile off

I used to save the water from the first spin cycle and put it in a spray bottle and then spray the seedlings in

 

the evening with a fine mist.

 

Snails don't seem to like the taste and it's sort of organic.
