    Realseeds have some very good info
    Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.

    was just thinking!

    i have lots of paper shredding to do (far too much for little compost bin) would it be an idea to save it for my runner beans - i remember grandad used to put scrunched up newspapers in the ground. or is it the 'wrong kind of paper' to soak up / save water?

    just a thought as i was sorting out my loo roll insides too! mr cat is now helping with computer so will have to stop typing as he follows the words on the screen!!!
    it's nice to be important but more important to be nice!! :kisses3:

    sure, that's what I do and cardboard boxes. I put them in the trench then really soak them before putting manure (if I have it) then kitchen waste then soil.
