Anyone watch the GW special on Friday ?
The general idea of devoting so much time and resources to perfect
looking vegies is silly enough but Joe Swift didn't mention "peat free"
in the compost that he was using and another contributor seemed to be on
a personal crusade to eliminate peat-lands. (I didn't catch whether she
was using ground up babies as fertiliser )
The sainted Geoff Hamilton will be rotating in grave.

We watched it in hysterics about how mad they all were (apologies if

Since around 90% of the growing area was sand and just the dibbed
holes filled with compost I would be more worried about the denuded
sand bars that are dredged to get the sand and the disruption of the
fish who are loosing spawning grounds.
They have already had to stop dredging sand in parts of the Bristol
channel.
