These purpose-built containers house a colony of brandling worms, which consume fruit and vegetable waste, producing a nutritious worm compost.</span></p><section class="template-article__editor-content editor-content" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; box-sizing: inherit; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: open-sans, "Open Sans", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 30px; scroll-margin-top: 54px;"><div class="editor-content__preview js-piano-preview-content" style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 20px; scroll-margin-top: 54px;"><p style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 1rem; line-height: 1.625rem; margin: 20px 0px; scroll-margin-top: 54px; word-wrap: break-word;">As well as producing a rich compost, wormeries also generate a nutritious liquid fertiliser. Vegetable waste is largely made up of water, and this will drain down through the bin to collect in the bottom. The resulting liquid can be retrieved through a tap in the base of the bin. It’s a good idea to keep the tap permanently open and collect drips in a bottle or bucket below.</p></div><div class="js-piano-inline" style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 20px; scroll-margin-top: 54px;"></div><div class="editor-content__locked js-piano-locked-content" style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px; scroll-margin-top: 54px;"><p style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 1rem; line-height: 1.625rem; margin: 20px 0px; scroll-margin-top: 54px; word-wrap: break-word;">A wide variety of wormery kits are available to buy. Most of them consist of three or four modular trays placed on top of each other. As the worms consume the waste in the bottom tray, they move up to the next one. Simply remove the bottom tray to access the worm compost, rinse it and place it on the top, and continue to add fresh veg peelings.</p><div class="template-article__advert" style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 40px; scroll-margin-top: 54px;"></div><div class="nativo" style="box-sizing: inherit; height: 0px; position: relative; scroll-margin-top: 54px;"></div><p style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 1rem; line-height: 1.625rem; margin: 20px 0px; scroll-margin-top: 54px; word-wrap: break-word;">Wormeries are easy to set up, but if yours is delivered by post, make sure you set up the bin within two days, as the worms may not survive if they are not quickly transferred into their bedding.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit;

font-size: medium;">All plant foods (fertilisers) have printed on their packs the proportion of N, P, & K that are in the packs. <br />N stands for Nitrogen, <br />P stands for Phosphorus (phosphates) and <br />K stands for Potassium (or potash). <br /><br />7:7:7, this being a balance fertiliser, 10:5:3: a plant growth feed <br />5:5:12 is a high potash feed or Potash Fertiliser.</span><div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /><b>Just a note on Tomato Feed: </b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">They are very high in Potash (K) and initiate flowers and then tomatoes but tomato feed is also high in nitrogen (N) for growth. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">The high N is to balance the very high K (potash) which is very import for tomatoes, this means it can be too ‘strong’ for other plants. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><b>If you would like to use it for other plants dilute it by 50%.</b><br /><br />Nitrogen encourages green growth, Phosphates (phosphorous in soluble form) is essential for healthy growth and good for roots, Potash (potassium in soluble form) not only produces more flowers and good fruit but also, makes plants tougher and resistant to diseases and pests.<br /><br />Last of all, if you feed too much with high N or balanced feeds you may stop flowers forming (why would they need to flower? They are happily growing away). </span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">If this is the case stop using these feeds, water with plain water for a week or two & then feed with the high potash food.</span></div>Lara Chttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15300254268117403893noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6270038401718665129.post-75848948218947473322021-03-18T22:03:00.006+00:002021-04-02T14:45:21.106+01:00Growing blueberries<p><span face="freight-sans-pro, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Roboto, Arial, sans-serif" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;

broad beans, <br />

salad onion, <br />
early brassicas (cabbage, calabrese, kohlrabi, cauliflower), <br />
radish, <br />
parsley, <br />
coriander, <br />
dill. <br />
<br />
Giving some warmth helps germination, such as <b>heating mats</b>: this is the most worthwhile time of plants’ lives to invest in heat, to germinate their seeds.<br />
<br />
Assemble a heap (<b>hotbed</b>) of fresh horse manure, to provide heat for new sowings. <br />
In 25C warmth sow <b>aubergine, pepper, chilli</b> – they must have warmth or it’s a waste of time.<br />
Outside, the only sowings now are <b>broad beans, and garlic</b> if you have not already. <br />
You can sow <b>parsnips</b> but seedlings may be stronger from March sowings, even April.<br />
<br />
If you have no way of warming seeds, seeds still germinate but more slowly and sometimes unevenly. <br />
Undercover without heat its fine to germinate <b>lettuce, brassicas, peas, broad beans, onions, spinach.</b><br />
<b>Sowing timeline for vegetables:</b><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<b>February</b><br />
best start date is Valentines Day<br />
<i>Sow undercover</i> broad beans, spinach, lettuce, peas for shoots, onion, salad onion, early brassicas (cabbage, calabrese, kohlrabi, cauliflower), radish, parsley, coriander, dill. <br />
With warmth aubergine, pepper, chilli - sow these by early March. <br />
<i>Sow outside</i> broad beans, garlic if not already<br />
<b>March</b><br />
<i>Sow undercover</i> as for February plus peas, Boltardy beetroot, celery & celeriac mid month. <br />
With warmth tomatoes - sow before mid month for undercover cropping, melon at month’s end.<br />
<i>Sow outside</i> broad beans, garlic if not already, and after mid month sow lettuce, spinach, peas, onion, salad onion, early brassicas, parsley, coriander, dill, parsnips, first early potato late March.<br />
<b>April</b><br />
<i>Sow undercover</i> as for March (except its getting late for celeriac, sow asap), leeks, leaf beet, beetroot (all varieties), chard at month’s end, tomatoes for outdoor growing. <br />
With warmth and around mid month, cucumber, courgette, squash, sweetcorn<br />
<i>Sow outside</i> all potatoes, broad beans, lettuce, spinach, peas, salad onion, early and autumn brassicas, parsley, leeks, leaf beet, carrots<br />
<b>May</b><br />
<i>Sow undercover</i> Courgette, French and climbing beans, leaf beet, beetroot, chard, lettuce, winter brassicas, salad onion. Plus leeks and winter squash by early May.<br />
Swede at end May.<br />
<i>Sow outside</i> same as undercover, also maincrop potatoes in early May, carrots, parsnips but keep seedbed moist until germinated.<br />
<b>June</b><br />
<i>Sow undercover</i> beetroot, swede, lettuce, leaf beet, chard, kale, purple sprouting broccoli, cauliflower for both autumn & spring, calabrese for autumn harvests.<br />
After solstice sow endive, chicory, kohlrabi and Florence fennel.<br />
<i>Sow outside</i> same as undercover, also carrots.<br />
<b>July</b><br />
Sow undercover Kohlrabi, lettuce, leaf beet, chard, endive, chicory, Florence fennel, chervil, coriander. Plus beetroot and savoy cabbage in first week.<br />
After mid month, land cress, wild rocket, Chinese cabbage and spinach.<br />
At month’s end, mustards, pak choi, salad rocket - though first week August is often better.<br />
<i>Sow outside</i> same as undercover, and carrots until mid July.<br />
<b>August</b><br />
<i>Sow undercover</i> endive and Florence fennel until 10th, lettuce (late August sowings to overwinter as small plants), claytonia, oriental leaves, salad rocket,<br />
• chervil - coriander - dill - land cress - wild rocket -spinach by mid August for autumn<br />
cropping,<br />
• any salads in mid August for planting September and to grow under a cloche,<br />
• spinach - spring onion - spring cabbage late August for overwintering small.<br />
<i>Sow outside</i> same as undercover but approximately a week earlier<br />
<b>September</b><br />
<i>Sow undercover</i><br />
• For outdoor planting to crop in autumn/winter lambs lettuce, mizuna, salad rocket,<br />
• For outdoor planting to overwinter small, in early September sow lettuce, spinach,<br />
chervil, coriander, dill.<br />
• For undercover planting sow in early to mid September all salads (includes spinach, chard mustards, kale etc which you can grow large for cooking), spring onion.<br />
<i>Sow outside</i> same as undercover but a week earlier, last salad sowings by 10th September.<br />
<b>October</b><br />
<i>Outside</i> sow garlic. You can also sow onion sets though I recommend caution with these as they risk harbouring mildew over winter which infects onions in May and thus reduces growth/storage potential of spring-sown onions. <br />
Spring onions sown in August, White Lisbon type, seem less prone to this.<br />
<b>Last sowings</b><br />
Depending where you live, from early November its worth sowing broad beans to overwinter as small plants, such as Aquadulce Claudia and Monica; <br />
<i>sowing in December</i><br />
is possible too, both undercover (unheated) and outside, likewise for garlic.<br />
<br />
<b>PS</b><br />
These dates are distilled from 35 of years trial and error in my gardens, where my results have served to highlight best timings for best results. You can sow these seeds at different times and they will grow, but the outcomes will be different, such as lower yield, more pest and disease, perhaps a tendency to flower rather than leaf. <br />
Hence for example I do not recommend sowing salad rocket and mizuna in the spring because it’s their flowering season, although many gardeners do and are happy with the smaller yield and insect-damaged leaves, compared with healthier leaves and more weeks of picking from August sowings.<br />
Dates are based on the climate of <b>Somerset in south west UK</b>, USDA zone 8-9, last frost mid May and first frost mid October.<br />

<br />
Gooseberries are nutritious, low-calorie fruits that are rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.<br />
Though research on gooseberries specifically is limited, many of the nutrients in these berries have been linked to significant health benefits.<br />
<br />
These include lower blood sugar, cholesterol, and blood pressure levels, as well as a reduced risk of cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and age-related illnesses of the brain.<br />
<br />
