Hello,
It’s Monay, it’s still raining again, grass and company are up to my ears.
From my first floor terrace, I have been admiring hordes of marauding birds feasting safely on all sorts of insects.
Aphids and ants are getting a good seeing to.
What can be done in this soggy weather, don’t want to flatten the green growth some of which will need some trimming to make walking easier.
I have acquired
a very big bag from somewhere
A disgusting huge old pillow full of down
Bags of Very old mushroom samples from my mushroom club
Tail end of a bit of woodchip
A bottle of milk from a previous era
Some sprigs of nettle, ground ivy, evening primrose, ivy, comfrey.
Non-treated bits of cardboard and paper
A handful of magnesium sulphite and seaweed from the kitchen
The pillow was a challenga at first in dry weather as the down flew all over the place
when emptying the pillow.i looked like a snow woman.
So today, the whole lot is going into the big bag with a few molehills and a drop of
Home made nitrogen(contents of my pee can).
It will all be nicely mixed and left to marinade until I remember the existence of the mixture.
I’ll use buckets to carry it and spread it on a field not too far from potatoes and sweet potatoes,
maybe an odd bean.
Has anyone else made interesting mixes? Results?
It certainly helps get rid of some of the stuff lying around.
May we joyfully collect water and have a splendid week, mayybe pick some lilies of
the valley on 1st May, a tradition here.
Good health and blessings
