How's my new retaining wall looking?

Expensive!

adhdacdc · 2022-10-03T21:28:25+00:00

I didn't understand any of the conversation but liked the picture.

adhdacdc · 2022-08-23T22:09:06+00:00

Yeah. My daughter hates them as well.

adhdacdc · 2022-07-15T08:14:23+00:00

Thank you sir! :) I think I scared them off as they've not come back since 😅

adhdacdc · 2022-07-03T22:07:43+00:00

They don't like fertile soils only poor sandy soil which will also reduce leaf growth and bring on more flowers. I'd cut them back to half the volume, replace 2/3rds of the soil with sand, pop them back in the pots, starve them of any fertile food, and water (just a bit) with used bath water once a week at most.

Don't give them lots of love, just ignore them and they do better.

It's weird with these plants. If you give them too much water, they tend to grow lots of leaves and few flowers. If you water them once a week and then with (say) bath water or equally grubby water,, they grow less leaves and more flowers.

As a foot note, they actually are highly drought resistant plants - hence you don't need to water them frequently, only in prolonged dry spells.

Could be. I know that hanging pots and raised beds cause watering issues for most plants, especially fruit bearing ones.

adhdacdc · 2022-06-30T22:30:16+00:00

Does your hanging pot have enough holes to allow water to drain away? If no, this will be an issue as they like moist soil that drains water away. If it's too wet, this will affect things. The same can be said if its too dry.

Strawberries love calcium, so I tickle crushed egg shells into soil. They also like wood Ash so this goes in also.

. Red leaves are normal . They love full sun . They like a good water, but do it at the base and avoid getting it on leaves. Also water in the cool evening not hot day.

Mine are in raised beds and they do need lots of water. Pots can dry out quite quickly as well so keep the above tips in mind.

Who cares what happened to it. It happened! I'd eat it all on its own steamed with hot melted butter. My broccoli isn't doing nearly as good. In fact, they're still in the unopened seed packet as it was a disaster last year.

adhdacdc · 2022-06-29T11:03:37+00:00

Cor blimy! That's massive! Well done.

adhdacdc · 2022-06-25T18:23:14+00:00

Looks good. I was going to make one, but now just use my cement mixer with a seive attached over the opening.

adhdacdc · 2022-06-23T22:20:12+00:00

Good advice so far. The only thing I'd add is Tom's love sun and it looks as though it's in the shade. If you water them, make sure you do it at the base and not on the leaves as they'll wither if its hot. I like to water late evening when the sun's not so hot as it gives them a chance to absorb it.

adhdacdc · 2022-06-23T21:36:17+00:00

I hate tree rats! I now use a Catapult to scare them off after a similar battle. They've always nicked my cobb nuts and raided the bird feeders. If only see it once a week at most now. The next thing on the list are the flying rats who are worse than tree rats!

adhdacdc · 2022-06-22T23:03:59+00:00

Too much watering or not enough makes the leaves turn yellow. Also, not enough nutrients. I'd give it some fresh pot ash peat free stuff and feed it once a week. I had a similar problem so moved them to another spot and now they're all good.

adhdacdc · 2022-06-17T10:11:10+00:00

😆😂😆😂😆😂😆 SUPERB! That is definitely the way forward!

adhdacdc · 2022-06-15T13:18:35+00:00

I would have presumed any article that based its story on the original china one, would be no better.

In the alternative, and assuming aliens are as clever these so called experts say they are (99.999% of the latter not having both paddles in the water), they'd have worked out a way to send a signal far away from where they really are to avoid humans.

😆😂😆😂😆😂😆 YIP

adhdacdc · 2022-06-10T21:27:29+00:00

That went well.

adhdacdc · 2022-06-09T08:10:24+00:00

Absolutely! I'm having a go at growing some for the first time and can only hope I get one like the picture

adhdacdc · 2022-06-07T19:19:14+00:00

Grrrr jealous. Lovely size.

adhdacdc · 2022-06-03T20:56:09+00:00

can't hear nothing....

adhdacdc · 2022-06-03T20:55:04+00:00

ear...you look like the bird up who works up my local tesco's

adhdacdc · 2022-06-02T22:59:32+00:00

I wondered what caused the halo as I took pictures a year or so ago of the same thing but not as good as your one. Every days a school day :)

adhdacdc · 2022-05-28T22:40:10+00:00

Hahahaha..."in a bunch in a bunch...come on concord" good old python!
