RE: Getting Down and Dirty in One of My Favourite Parts of the Garden
I love what he says about rules.... Its definitely not a one size fits all recipe and nor do any of these rules work for me. I have done all of the rule breaking successfully. This is a fabulous value addition to my post and thank you wholeheartedly for it. My only rule is chop it fine!!! BUT geee... look at his compost!!!! I have big boxes too and that works well. I figured HEAT kills seed and disease. I wonder if the plastics leach into the soil? Hence slater bugs value I guess. Im sharing this with my local gardening group. thankyou!!!
It's always a pleasure to make the world wide web a bit wider. You can always choose to support him for his work for the garden community :)
Plastic, especially thin filmed stuff, so all below a 1 mm thickness generally has a lot of additives to make it that supple, so you can count on that
What about the slater bugs?
It's a real pleasure
I'll just copy from naturalnews.com for the sake of time:
I always used to hate them for eating my young plants but now see them quite differently!
the world is full of leeches and other like minded vampirical 'symbiotic relations' between living creatures and plants of all kinds. There is always a reason behind everything (not that I could name one right off the bat though). Probably even mosquitos somehow have a decent job in here.
Absolutely.. everything has a purpose and works in a beautiful connected network... but.. damn! Mozzies!!!
Well there is your hand, and there is the mozzie, if that ain't a connection, then what is?
It's like love at first sight.
