Garden bully
I am growing potatos in tyres and they are thriving. One stack is 5 tryes
high and still going. I started running out of soil to throw in the tyres so last weekend I went round to a mates compost bin to dig some compost out. Its typical back yard compost, a large mound of material slowly rotting down with a humus of material on top, better stuff further down and a covering of weeds. I scraped back the weeds and turfed the top humus to one side before extracting several sacks worth of the better stuff. I took it home and have started shoving it in my tyres. Anyhow, on the sunday night my friend called asking if I had a pumpkin plant in my sacks. His lad had come home from a weekend with his mum & rushed up the garden to see how the pumpkin plant he had growing in the compost pile was doing. It was a giant pumpkin he was going to enter a competition with. He came back down the garden in tears, some how the pumpkin plant had 'dissappeared'. During my dig I had assumed the pumpkin plant was another weed and likely turfed it to one side. The lad was distraught and I felt sorry for him, but at the same time I did have to laugh. rob |
