Title: New Member - North Yorkshie
Post by: polo71 on March 03, 2020, 10:31
Finally got round to registering ! We have a small plot on a local allotment (8m x7M) plus our garden and a couple of greenhouse (8 x 6, 6 x 6) We mainly garden using the no dig and the multi sowing style of growing very rare we sow anything direct into to the ground (carrots been the main exception)

We try and produce all our own compost using a 3 bin system that measures roughly 1mx1mx1m cant say its organic because I don't know the origin of some of the kitchen waste we shred and compost. The only thing we spray are brassicas using Bacillus thuringiensis.

Well that's a base introduction looking forward to been a member here and hope I can be a active member of the community

few photos of my plot
 

cheers

It looks very neat, we’re a bit south of you in north Leicestershire. I’ve had my eye out for bacillus thuringiensis and haven’t seen any. Where do you source yours?

It is allowed, so long as you have no personal connection with the company and don't stand to make anything out of it, except for being helpful to other members of course  :)

That's the rules on that explained so hi and welcome to the forum  :)
