I ask because, yesterday, I heard about a man on the allotment site who makes his own by adding Growmore, stinging nettles, and horse manure to water in a very large butt and letting it stand. I was amazed at the size and health of his crops but I haven't managed to see him yet, as we, obviously, go up there at different times but when I do I'll ask him the quatities he uses and how he uses it and hope he tells me. I've read of comfrey and stinging nettles (among other things) being used but never tried it myself, as yet so I'd love to hear of other people's favourite recipes. I ask so many questions because I'm trying to learn as much as I can about gardening before any more of my body packs up and I have to give up my beloved allotment! Anyway, thanks in advance and my best regards, Hi John. I wouldn't put in one bucket growmore, nettles and OM altogether - EVER! Sounds really mad and I can't imagine what would be the right amount for each. Why does it sound really mad? - just because you "can't imagine" the proportions to use does not mean it is not a sensible idea. Perhaps you should suggest to John that he tells the old man on his allotment that he doesn't know what he is doing and that he should stop and do things "your" way - despite the fact he seems to be getting fantastic results. Do you sometimes wonder what she smokes? Who? The home made manure stirrer. T'aint me Martin it's that Judith who posts in the legal group and that definitely ain't me I never suspected you :-) -- Martin- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - My Man, I knew you would have faith in me.
