you know my bed i was thinking about filling it up with grass cutting so it can rot down in the soil what do you think?

Good idea Steve and a good way of getting rid of the cuttings! that will be some good soil then   

yea can you over feed spud?

this is the record for potato

8lb 4oz do you think i get close to it?

That's a whopper! No I wouldn't feed too much if the soil is good that's all they should need   

i'm taking a rick with the bed becasue my dad grow potatos there last year    that why i'm trying to get good stuff in the soil

Sure they will do very well   

Steve don't ever put grass where you are growing plants you will have grass and weeds over your bed    

  did you know you can grow spud just in grass cutting?

n0 but then we and 1 1/2 acre vegetable garden so mum always did it the old ways     

have heard off your way will be interested to see how they come out they will be warm and have nutrients x
but I will be up for a tasting x

Why don't you get a composter. You can buy them from your local council, my sister has one. Then nothing is wasted  

i got compost at the buttom of my bed also in the buckets i just want to give something else, i know spus love grass cutting xx

does your sister mind you taking over her garden or do you have to bribe her with some produce x

she happy someone is doing it becasue she work crazy hour and when she off all she want to do is relax

Yay 1 pepper plant coming through   

wooo hoooo

me and my dad just decided we doing 4 differnet ways

1) chicken manure, horse manure (only becasue we can ge it without begging people we dont know) with muti purpose compost with nettle tea.

2) miracle grow potting mix with miracle grow plant food

3) muiti purpoes compost with chempak formula 4

4) is the same way my dad grow tomatoes


whatever give us the best yield we will stick with and play around with it next year to get it right

inez you have to tell us how you do it then that be 5 differnets ways

Well once the pepper plant is strong enough shall just put in a big pot with compost and that's it simple as ever me!!   

are you going feed it anything? what type of compost do you use?

Just multi compost will probs just use an ordinary feed for veg   

cool tell me what u use and how many time you do it

i think i'm going prune 1 of each differnet way to grow small plant but better yields and let the other grow tall and see how they get on

Once planted just gonna let em go and see what happens   

it you prune you you wont need to use scaffolding to support and you also meant to get more per plant

Says on my pepper packet not to take any side shoots out and let grow like a bush!   

This is what you need Steve for all your grass cuttings and old veg plants when they finished. Make your own compost for next year. Heres mine, I use to put on flowerbeds.

we got 4 we just empty 2 of them

Sorted then

i'm going fill me bed up with grass cutting becasue tatties really to love it

Ok never grown them Good luck

get your self an bucket from wilko and have a go   i just gave my first two bucket more compost
