And here is Izzy, turning on the charm.

Home to Donnie (and his sister, of course) after our holiday. Lovely to be back to them!

@pawsforthought @compost i've done some searches on the subject because i prefer to use the most local product i can. People that have done this will either use sawdust or compost made out of wood chips.
In my mix i definitly use #wormcasting that makes the germination rate of the seeds a lot higher. It is best done when just harvested because still moist.

@spenbroc @pawsforthought you are quite welcome, on this profile I talk about how to make #CompostAthome because it is something everyone can do especially if they are concerned for the #climate.

Ted: What are you doing Scampi?😸
Scampi: I’m counting my paws, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 😺
Ted: I think you counted that one twice? 😸
Scampi: Oops, silly me, just the five then 😺🐾

@Hesperalis Oh, that Sylva Grow is expensive but peat compost shouldn’t be sold at all. It certainly shouldn’t be sold cheaper than the peat free alternatives. #Allotment #PeatFree #Compost #GrowYourOwn

@graftandspur Yes, ryegrass will over winter here. So far mustard has been the next hardiest. I was hoping the oats would over winter with the rye but they haven’t.
I grow a diverse cover crop mix from Sept and let their biomass cover the ground and feed the soil biology.
As it’s too warm for Jan some clover and phacelia may start to come through now. The only plants I have growing at the moment are the perennials, teasel, ryegrass and the bulbs. #Zone9a #Allotment #CoverCrops #GreenManures

@Hesperalis That schedule makes sense.
Useful information I gleaned from John Kempf’s brilliant Regenerative Agriculture podcast with Harriet Mella https://regenerativeagriculturepodcast.com/episode-71-harriet-mella was the best uptake for foliar feed (from sap analysis) is the week before the full moon. The least advantageous time is the week of the new moon.
I dabble in a bit of #RegenAg #KNF, #permaculture, #biodynamics.
When Spring arrives I’ll be making some IMO2 in the fridge into IMO3 with bran & then IMO4 with soil.

@graftandspur Yes the phacelia is a wuss with frost. The green manure mustards are a bit hardier but still shouldn’t last the winter. I had to chop and drop it last Feb/March as we hardly had a hard frost.
I leave the stalks in for the soil life to tuck into until I start prepping the beds.
I normally grow a Chinese or Japanese mustard green for a lovely over winter salad, but didn’t have the seed this year.
The ryegrass as a green manure will reliably survive our winter.#Zone9a #Allotment

@sam I am so sorry your wife and her colleagues have been so badly treated and left in this impossible situation. #NHSStrikes #NurseStrikes #FairPayForNursing #RCNStrike #solidarity

@richrollgardener What a great job for a rainy day! I hope you got everything you were after.
We’d call Brandywine a beefsteak variety here in the UK, is it called the same in the states? Nice haul, by the way.
I try to grow something I’ve never grown before every year and this years debut crop is Huauzontle Aztec broccoli.
I won’t sow anything much before March but my seedlings table is already ready and waiting in the greenhouse. #Zone9a #Allotment #Gardening #GrowYourOwn

January & February are going to drag.
My green manures have mostly been frost killed so I’ve marked out the beds for 2023 (75 cm wide with a 25 cm path in between). Bed lengths will vary on the plot between 5 & 8m.
Three beds are set aside for growing Yacon as a replant perennial. I’ll have another 15 beds to play around with.

@DenHal I loved this series. Tom Burke and Holliday Grainger have a superb on screen rapport.
One of my quirks is I prefer to watch the tv adaption first before reading the novel as it normally means I get more enjoyment out of both. I have had to wait a while but the novel is now on my ever growing to read list.

Green manures were growing well into the first week of December. 10 nights of freezing temperatures (-4°C to -9°C) have knocked them back. Photographed after today’s thaw.

@spenbroc No till growers has a good explainer of the different types of compost https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpZChqz9iiI They have a lot of good information.
How to make it does depend what you want your compost to do and what you’re able to do within your own set up. We all have different constraints but there’s a method to fit anyone.

I harvested half of my Yacon plants before the worst of the hard frosts hit this week. I split a couple of plants and replanted and mulched them with wood chip. I hope they survive. I’ve also stored a dozen growing tips for potting on in spring. Guessing I have about 25 kg of tubers. #Allotment #Gardening #Yacon

CW: UK NURSES STRIKE
@nhsactivistrn I support you 100% Siobhan. “We care for the nation but who cares for the carers? “ Who indeed?
I’ve donated so one striking nurse can be reimbursed £50 through the RCN Strike Benefit for the industrial action taking place on 15th December. If we want to keep the NHS going we have to help you fight for it. Thank you and your colleagues for all you do.

@harshad That is so right. We owe everything we have to the life in our soils that sustains us.
Even though I know my soil is alive with worms there’s always a bit of relief to see them whenever I uncover any soil. They are a joy. #SoilHealth #Soil #Vermicast #Vermiculture
