Daydream fund challenge part 4

Thanks lucielle. I have a brick raised bed 6 metre x 1 metre in my garden that I privately rent. I was just wondering if I could use it in it's raw form as a soil improver really.

Morning all,

Looks as though we all done the decent thing and let the lotto roll over ..

It was lovely yesterday, a day without rain!!!

Cold last night and the forecast is saying cold and ground frost come the weekend/ next week. There is even talk of snow in some areas

Alfie, I remember you talking about that stuff a few times now...

Is it me or is it horrible and dark until late in the mornings???

what was I talking about ? I talk a lot....;)

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:


yes ..... 6X.


can you shift some pigwig poop ?


re the rabbit poop... when I clean chooks out ,they have wood shavings [very fine] and I dump the lot on top of two raised beds nearby.in the spring I turn/dig it in.. I grow sweet peas and herbs in there and they grow like trifids ! summer time its burnt.


today has, dare I chance saying it, been dry but cold.


went down the field today to check hosses with bucket of treats and they all went the wrong way and galloped into corral. [fields are a big block of 4 with a starve strip in the middle] ruby and littluns realised mistake, turned round and ran towards me. storm is not the brightest in the bunch and ended up in the starve strip looking at me over 2 fences. he turned about 30ft , turned again, and took off from a stand still into a canter and cleared the strip fence [4ft ?] into the next field :eek:...... mud ! he looked like a huge dalmation :rotfl: I then had to trek to the gate to let him in the right field.... donut !


took some furnishings to friends house she has just finished restoring today.. amazing place !! gave me some ideas for my decorating !! roll on a lotto win...;)

Poo is always better stored for a while so that it doesn't chemically burn sensitive roots, but digging a trench in a fallow area and filling it in gradually with poo + soil, as lucielle says, would be OK on a sort of rolling programme.

Funny, you folk talking about Christmas trees. I was just wondering whether to plant a hedge of them......:think:

Dry but coldish here too. I got a few more trees planted, but two I was very proud of were a mess by the time I'd hoiked them out of the nursery bed, so they had to be put down.
Two years is too long in the nursery for mountain ash.

I'm glad alders have done well for you choille. I have 3 kinds, ordinary, grey and Italian. I know the ordinary one is supposed to be sheep-proof. The Italian ones have grown fast and have fantastic false cones and 'lambs tails' just now. One of them also hasn't lost its leaves yet. Next week will change all that!

1st snow of the year with me. Glad to be home after visiting mum, the minister was calling to agree the dad's funeral service for next Tue. Decided to go with Morning has Broken as the hymn, mum's keen not be have a maudling service.

As usual, dusting of snow and the roads were getting jammed but the TomTom was good in finding ever more creative alternatives. I must look at Google Maps to discover the places I've driven through tonight

We had Morning has Broken at my Mum's funeral. Hope you have sufficiently clement weather on Tuesday. Will be thinking of you and your Mum dear IHS. Best wishes to you both from Liverpool.

We're entertaining tonight.

Outside, we have torrential rain, but at last it's warm enough inside to invite folks round, and we have the cooking facilities to feed 'em.

People tonight are two couples who've been helpful beyond the call of duty. We'll need a few more nights like this to thank all t'others.

Think there will be floods here if our stream is anything to go by.

Evening all

I looked like a drowned rat earlier!!! Went up the ranch, and it wasn't raining, so me , silly, didn't take my coat, and then while I was up there it went really dark, and the rain came, and hasn't stopped.. Having a nice hot bath now.. ( I love these notepad things lol)

Alfie.... Poor love... Hope she is OK.. I bet nipper is already thinking about his next trip to Canada..

Davesnave.. Sounds as though you are going to have a fab night..

Right forgot to buy lotto on the way home, so better if nd a way of buying it online, unless hubby fancies going out to get it lol
