[@AllotmentDiggers]

The reason i've done so mant spuds is because of the price £2 for 2 kilo at the minuet, The same time like year they were £1.50 for 2.5 kilos The world has gone mad...

Hi mark I having problems with the seeds jemnating I sow my corn I sold it there times

[@AllotmentDiggers]

If you follow how i sowed my corn you shouldn't have any trouble getting them started...I used clover compost and used fresh water that had been left in the greenhouse for a couple of days to let the chlorine evaporate from the water before using on the seeds in the tray

[@helenannetts6194]

Hi Mark, can is ask why do you bury the potato buckets?

[@AllotmentDiggers]

The reason is the potatoes get a double whammy of nutrients from the compost and the soil in the raised bed

Bad bad Buttercup!!!! Collars and Bell for you if you can't stick to rats or voles, but yes I k ow it's instinct for cats but grrrrr. I have grown glass gem corn mark but even though it's for popping g corn I have just had it for decorating, bet the squirrels won't be able to get their teeth into that corn. Good video. thanks

[@AllotmentDiggers]

Afternoon Maude she's been at it again this week but she's killing the voles this time, Hopefully the squirrels will target the rainbow corn and leave the rest of the corn alone😂😂
