RE: Why I like Allotments

in #philosophy7 years ago

I spoke to someone I know who also recommended the mammoth varieties. The ground I have is well fertilised but with compost not manure. I assume you are recommending horse manure?
I think I’ll give this a go this year, not to eat but a 4ft pumpkin come Halloween would be awesome and give me major brownie points with my daughter!

Sort:  

Yup - delivered to the allotment - horse manure...its then in place for the next thing in the rotation (think thats greens/ brassicas?).

Also feed - I just used tomatoe feed.

Kids go mad for them! Your daughter ll love it.

Another bonus is that 4 stone pumpkins are very hard to nik!

I’ll have to get it by the bag as I can’t get it delivered direct but I’ll take your advice and find a local stables!
