Today is nematode day. After approximately 2" of rain last night,
anyone who saw five people out there watering this morning must have
thought they'd walked into a parallel universe!

Sacha, has Ray Checked out "Met52" its biological but you pre mix it in
the compost so its there all the time, quite pricy but a lot less work


I'll ask him and Matthew, thanks, Charlie. At present, the air is a
very pale blue while both of them try to figure out why the house
boiler appears to be leaking water when it's off. Matthew and I reckon
it's some kind of pipe trouble, Ray reckons it's rain coming through
the air brick from outside. I'm just glad it's not January!


In our case it was the safety valve leaking, because it was corroded,
another time it was because the maintenance man hadn't done up a nut
tight enough.


It's definitely the boiler, not water from outside. When the boiler is
off, it leaks, when it's on, the leak stops. This suggests that
'something' gets hot and expands thus sealing itself. Ah well we're on
the trail of the right engineer for the job!
