Planting now ?
« on: August 04, 2010, 13:44 »
I'm in the process of building a planter 160cm x 110cm x 45cm. My first question, is there a set ratio of top soil to multipurpose compost I need does it need mixing together? And secondly is it ok to plant straight away or does it need to settle ?
Thank you

Thank you, I'll b putting a polythene frame on as well for a lid. Do the new seeds need cover from the start or just in bad weather ?
Thanx again

This time in the year almost anything will germinate without protection.

Lettuce seed won't if it is too hot though, so keep that shaded a bit  :D

If the photos are about your planter then just add a reply to this thread and include the pictures with it!  :)

Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

One of the best things about being an orang-utan is the fact that you don't lose your good looks as you get older
