« Last post by Aidy on Today at 13:27 »Interesting one...
So the first would be the legendary Brian Clough.
He was a propper character, bumped into psycho (Stuart Pearce) at a punk gig and had a little chat about him.
Second up will be the only original punk that I have not met, Poly Styrene. Never got to see Xray Specs or see her perform.

Grow Your Own / Re: Strawberries not thriving
« Last post by Grubbypaws on Today at 11:01 »Vine weevils love strawberries, and their grubs do significant damage to the roots.
Nematodes are said to be effective and would not attack other creatures.
When is the best time to apply the nematodes?

Grow Your Own / Re: What I did on the plot today 2024
« Last post by snowdrops on Today at 10:39 »Early visit to Plot 13 to beat the heat.... Made the first comfrey and nettle tea batches of the year, gave the asparagus and potatoes a seaweed feed and then weeded the whole plot before the little beggars get too bigAfter a couple of hot dry days the soil in the beds is looking dreadful, grey, dry and cracked plus full of stones. 2024 looks like the year I am mostly going to be putting in some serious work improving the soil in each bed!
Get some well rotted manure/mulch and just apply to the top of your beds, leave the worms to take it in, conserves moisture too
