Grow Your Own / flea beetle advice
« Last post by Grubbypaws on Today at 15:41 »
My baby brassicas are full of holes and some have perished. There is no sign of slugs so I am presuming this is caused by flea beetles?

The raised bed has been covered to protect from birds and cats. I have taken the cover off to encourage wildlife to eat them. Is there anything else that I can do? I was intending to plant celery in this bed, will they feed on this as well?

Grow Your Own / Re: Onions from seed?
« Last post by Aidy on Today at 11:40 »
I have grown mine from seed for the last 8 years or more.
I find the quality is far better than a set.

Start mine by chitting the seed in damp paper then sow in 12cm root trainer's before planting out.
Mine are due for final planting in the next couple of weeks.

Grow Your Own / Re: Herbs dying help!
« Last post by dougens on Today at 11:25 »
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.

A day to hide indoors I’m afraid.
It started off like that here, but it's a bit brighter now. Fingers crossed it stays that way...but looking at the weather map  ::)
6C overnight in the greenhouse, so thinking about putting everything that's in the bay window, back into the greenhouse  :unsure:
