There's still time if someone wants to come and clean the greenhouses for me ?
I've managed to get the border made in the bottom GH - I've gone with just one side at the moment, if it works out I'll go around in a U shape as I have in the top GH. There's a nasty hard pan where the gravel has compacted things down so much so I couldn't get a fork or spade in (even standing on them
) and there's no way Im swinging the mattock in there.
I've added 6" of spent compost and chicken poo for the time being to see if that softens it, as my only other option is a twisty, prongy, thing the old man bought and I consigned to the "it's not a real tool" side of the shed.
Sprinkled a few leeks in a mushy tub and although I said never again, the shop bought castano garlic I pushed into the old tomato pots looks to be doing well so that needs to be dealt with or at least fed.
The top GH doesn't look too bad, just a few salads run to seed. I'll push the hoe over it, give it a good soaking and put in some carrots and a few french beans I think.
