Grrrrr!!!

I’ve just walked into the town to buy some wall baskets from Wilkinsons and managed to get 10.  But as soon as I got home I noticed that the 4 in the middle are broken :(   Looks like I’ll be getting alot of exercise today.

Bokashi Composting

I’ve been interested in bokashi since hearing about it on the wiggly wigglers podcast ages ago.  I finally decided to take the plunge and bought a bokashi bucket from them, I found the time to sit down to set it up tonight.  The bucket was simple to put together and fits neatly in a kitchen cupboard out of sight.  As soon as I see some results and get my first full bucket of pre-composted organic matter I’ll try to write a short review.

 I’ve added Wiggly Wigglers to the links to suppliers in the side bar.

New Links

Just added a few new links to the sidebar. 

The Allotment Junkies is a blog I recently discovered that inspired me to start my own.

Garden Organic is a great resource for organic gardeners and is the home of the charity HDRA.

And last but not least my favourite supplier The Organic Gardening Catalogue.  HDRA members get 10% discount and all purchases help support their valuable work so go and get spending!!!

Hello

Hi, my name is Colin and I’m going to be moving into a new home with my first garden sometime over the summer, with my one year old border terrier Megan trying her best to distract me!  I’m already excited and I’m making preperations right now to begin my organic vegetable production, this blog is my way of sharing this journey.

 I’ll start building up the bare bones of this site over the next week or so and if anyone has any tips I’ll be grateful as I am new to blogging and have no idea what I’m doing with wordpress.

 Colin + Megan
