Thanks all.
Only one (oregano) still has green when trimmed back.
I’m making another raised bed this year so will dog this herb bed out and use soil in that, then remake the soil mix for the herb bed with more drainage.

Any advice on a good mix for herb bed?

I was going to do compost, coco, perlite, sharp salt mix!

Should I add some gravel?

Thanks for help. Great site. 

Pic of low PUFA  poultry feed...

Grey and cold here.

Ive been working on finding low PUFA feed for my hens and its very difficult, i discovered in my research that feeding soya, maize based feeds raises the Linoleic acid content of the eggs and also the meat should you be eating any birds.

Linoleic acid is a polyunsaturated, omega-6 fatty acid, consuming it has raised concerns on peoples health issues.  Im finding that it has become a very popular food ingredient in all animal feeds and also directly fed to ourselves in most processed foods.

As i have been unable to buy a manufactured poultry feed, Ive been mixing up my own ration, not perfect and it will certainly be altered some more, but for now at least I've been able to lower the PUFA been fed to my hens.

I Will try and upload a pic of the feed later this morning for those interested.

Forgot to mention that onions and leeks do better with a bit of lime raked into the soil, and generous doses of manure or fertiliser when they get going later in the season.  Managed to get seed for the old Kelsae last year, and got huge, very mild onions just like the Spanish onions we used to be able to get years ago.  As a friend's husband used to say, Ya could ate em like an opple!! Translation: You could eat them like an apple.

When is the best time to add the lime jaydig?
I was planning to plant the seedlings out, maybe on Monday so could pick up some lime tomorrow, but would that be harmful to plant out so soon after liming?
Sorry for all the questions!
