Thanks! All the best with your venture.

Much appreciated! 😊

Comes from its gaelic name, Chill Chainnigh. Which means the church Chainnigh. AKA Saint Canice. Many Irish place names begin with the word 'kil' because of this.

I did one a few years ago with just regular compost, and it worked well. You might need to feed them with kitchen scraps more regularly, though.

Thanks! They're to stop crows from pulling up young seedlings.

Thanks Odhran!

So in blocks C and D you didn't use cardboard? Just the plastic tarp over winter and compost and wood chips in early spring? Did you broadfork them first.

@odhrancrowe3894 yeah, it was there from June until January. I used a little bit of cardboard where the plastic didn't stretch to. I didn't broadfork at all, but I did in the polytunnel since it had been extremely compacted after I let the donkeys into the spot where we placed it in the winter of 21/22, when it was wet and after it had been tilled. I didn’t broadfork anywhere else. I don't even own a proper one. I just used a regular garden fork in the manner of a broadfork; lifting the soil but not turning it.

Very interesting. I'm actually in a situation at the moment where I need to extend, expand, ASAP alot of garden beds. There is everything in this project from tarped out sections which I will approach as you have said. I had planned to broad fork these areas but I think now once compost has broken down ill just put it on and plant out autumn plants direct. Other areas are making me nauseous, last years tilled beds.... running down hill🤪 all kinda native plants in different succession of reclaiming the land. Such a mess. But seen the video of you opening up those new areas so fast has helped me regain focus. I'll just have to work with the trapped out areas and forget about the out of control shaped beds till the new-year. I'm going to have to for go cardboard on this project but will have the means to apply the full 15cm or even more. As for in tunnels I think because of the unnatural setting and interaction of the whole situation I think we just have to broadfork to get things established. I would love to experiment with not broadforking I think if one were to carry out a winter regime of watering on empty beds at a scale to match the rain I think by the following year the soil may have become decompact. But left to the desert style environment a polytunnel is I think a once off forking without turning is nessery for all tunnels.

@@odhrancrowe3894 I actually can't wait to visit ye again and see what you've been getting up to. 🤣

😂

A good excuse to chill out and enjoy the garden while you recover. Hope you're back on your feet soon.

Thank you!

It sounds like you're not in Ireland, so I'm not sure, but keep looking, I guess.. Maybe try a pond supply specialist? All the best.

Thanks!
