Marges garden club part 2.

Posted on 22 Oct, 2008 3 comments

The Radio Leeds Gardener, Joe Maiden, said he had just received an award for Services to Gardening in the North (of England). Isn’t that wonderful.

I asked him a question about planting fruit bushes in containers at the rear of our garage, he suggested we needed to use something with the depth of a plastic dustbin. Planting : Raspberries, Autum Bliss or Old Goldor Blue berries. This is a north facing area that gets lots of bright sunlight.

He recommended we use pelletted sheep droppings to add something to our compost (which, in true Yorkshire fashion – they like spending money less than the Scots) he was selling for £5.00 per carrier bag full ! Who could resist a bargain like that ? I can’t believe I have just bought a bag of sheep s—t fo a £5. It may be a while before my husband comes on a night out with me again.

Love Marge.

Hi Dottydaisy, been having a look at your photos, you live in a lovely part.

You garden looks great.

Yes, it was a big carrier full - but rather smelly, although we had been assured it did not have a smell. Been listening to Joe Maiden on the radio (radio Leeds) this morning.

Happy gardening. Marge.
