How do we screen our compost and why?

Well we're fossil fuel free so it's all by hand and is just really to make sure no fruit stickers make it into our finished compost.

We upcycled two old bike rims and some wire mesh, which roll on caster wheels screwed to old scaffold boards.

Slow and steady wins the race, and we're especially gentle so as to look after our previous microbes.

Clean your garden pots & containers 🚿🫧 before planting new plants 🌿

Pathogens, fungi, pests can accumulate over time (inside & below your pots) and diseases can be transmitted to new plants.

🏺 For terracotta pots, use water & white vinegar to remove limescale and sterilize your pots. Vinegar will edficiently remove bacterias & mold.

🌿 For plastic ones, use organic dish soap, brush well and clean with hot water. When clean, store them in a dry area. You can pile them up to save lots of space.

🚿 For geotextile bags, brush well as dirt, roots can really stick on the bag. Place in your washing machine to have it clean again.

🌱 Don’t forget your seedling trays! Give them a nice bath and wash them with organic soap. That way, your trays are now ready to welcome soon new babies.

Green Love to you 💚

This is one of my favorite yard tools. It's called a peat moss or compost roller. It's perfect for top dressing, simply open the cage fill it with material, close it & start pushing. It evenly releases a thin layer of material onto the ground which is perfect for top dressing. It also keeps all the large chunks and garbage off your lawn.

🌷Plant spring bulbs roughly 2-3 times as deep as the bulb measures from top to bottom. Large bulbs need to be planted deeper than small bulbs. There are a few exceptions to this rule:

Anemones and Ranunculus bulbs should only be around 3cm below the soil surface. Eremurus like to be only slightly (around 1-2cm) below the soil surface.

Bare root peonies should be planted with the buds no more than 3cm below the soil surface. Other bare roots supplied with shoots, such as papaver and hollyhocks, should be planted with the shoots exposed above the soil surface and only the roots in the soil 🌱

Critter Cages Can Help in Growing Vegetables

Critter cages (protective enclosures made of mesh, wire, or netting) are essential for keeping pests and animals away from your vegetable garden. Here’s how they help:

1) Protects Against Small & Large Pests

✔ Keeps out rabbits, deer, and squirrels that love munching on leafy greens, carrots, and tomatoes.
✔ Prevents birds from pecking at fruits and seedlings like strawberries and peppers.
✔ Blocks insects like cabbage worms and grasshoppers from damaging crops.

2) Prevents Damage from Harsh Weather

✔ Shields plants from strong winds that can break stems.
✔ Reduces damage from heavy rain or hail, preventing soil erosion.
✔ Provides light shade in extreme heat, preventing leaf burn.

3) Helps Climbing & Vining Plants

✔ Supports vining vegetables like peas, cucumbers, and beans.
✔ Keeps fruits off the ground, preventing rot and fungal infections.

4) Reduces Need for Pesticides

✔ Keeps out harmful pests without using chemicals, making your veggies safer to eat.
✔ Encourages natural pest control by allowing beneficial insects like ladybugs and bees to enter.

5) Extends the Growing Season

✔ Can be covered with plastic in cooler months to create a mini greenhouse effect.
✔ Helps frost-sensitive plants like peppers and tomatoes survive longer.

Best Way to Use Critter Cages in Your Garden

✔ Use fine mesh netting for insect-prone plants like cabbage and lettuce.
✔ Use chicken wire or metal cages for larger animals like rabbits and deer.
✔ Cover plants loosely so they still get air circulation and sunlight.

Final Thought:

A critter cage is an easy and natural way to protect your vegetables while ensuring a healthier, more productive garden. Less damage = bigger harvests!
