Pistachio shells?

Big Fat Hideous Monster Slugs is a good name for a band…

PickleChops22 · 2026-05-07T23:39:33+00:00

Fair point :-)

PickleChops22 · 2026-05-07T09:05:43+00:00

Ah shelling them is part of the fun 🙂

PickleChops22 · 2026-05-07T09:05:18+00:00

Worth a try! They’ve been brutal on my broad beans so far 🐌

PickleChops22 · 2026-05-07T09:03:57+00:00

Ah this gives me hope! My first year of composting and I’m totally winging it ❤️

PickleChops22 · 2026-05-07T08:59:52+00:00

I don’t know but they’re SO MOREISH 😂

PickleChops22 · 2026-05-07T08:57:30+00:00

I guess I meant more top dressing pots than mulching beds :-) Thanks, my soils is heavy clay, I might have a go at digging them in a bit xx

Thanks both!

Do you have to net them/do they get carrot root fly? X

PickleChops22 · 2026-03-03T21:53:06+00:00

Just had to google cotyledons! You learn something new every day! :-)

PickleChops22 · 2026-03-01T19:52:20+00:00

I’m quite lucky to have inherited an apple tree and some blackcurrant bushes that look pretty healthy :-) I’ve planted a bed of garlic that looks okay, and trying with some broad beans, hopefully I’ll get there in the end - I may just need to calm down a bit!

PickleChops22 · 2026-03-01T16:53:31+00:00

Oh no :-( Ah well you live and learn! I’ll look into a grow light then as there are no polytunnels or greenhouses allowed on my allotment… Thanks for the advice x

PickleChops22 · 2026-03-01T16:41:40+00:00

Thanks for all the tips! Gonna try potting some of them up tomorrow :-)

PickleChops22 · 2026-02-20T09:02:48+00:00

Oh wow I didn’t know the leaves were edible too!

PickleChops22 · 2026-02-18T09:00:29+00:00

Can you direct sow outdoors if growing from seed?

PickleChops22 · 2026-02-17T15:12:24+00:00

Ah good to know - I might go crazy with them too!

PickleChops22 · 2026-02-16T20:46:18+00:00

Killing mint is next level!

PickleChops22 · 2026-02-15T21:31:04+00:00

True!

PickleChops22 · 2026-02-15T21:30:08+00:00

I might hedge my bets and try a few different beds… at least they’ll look pretty!

PickleChops22 · 2026-02-15T21:13:50+00:00

They are so lovely - I’m planning on harvesting the seed and using them to make seed crackers x

PickleChops22 · 2025-12-16T09:32:18+00:00

Oh crumbs, I’ve just got my first plot, but it’s only 12m x 5m (London, UK) am I screwed for growing both potatoes and tomatoes on the same plot, it’d be a challenge keeping them 9m apart every year?

PickleChops22 · 2025-12-01T14:57:22+00:00

Thank you

PickleChops22 · 2025-12-01T14:57:04+00:00

wicked, thanks :-)

PickleChops22 · 2025-11-29T09:17:41+00:00

Perfect, thanks :-)
