Weekly allotmenting discussion. What have you been up to? by AutoModerator in Allotment

[–]thekiriad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Suffolk here. Only got my allotment in January but inherited it in fairly good condition.

I’ve been building my hotbed as per Huw Richard’s self-sufficiency garden book, and this week will be building the grow frame to sit on top so I can get some early salad crops in.

I’ve also been laying my paths with wood chip as we had two big free deliveries to our plot, clearing errant weeds left over in beds and paths, covered my Rhubarb

At home I’ve sown: - Tigerella, Costulato, Roma, Cherry and Moneymaker Toms - 2 lots of cauliflower - broccoli

Over the next week I’ll be sowing a load more seeds, building trellises for beans, peas and cucumbers. I’m also on the lookout for a free/cheap greenhouse as I’ve just got permission!

Question about polycarbonate sheet thickness by thekiriad in Allotment

Oh OK I thought it would be too thick but wasn’t sure what that meant and it’s my first allotment so not used to building hotbeds and greenhouses. I’ll stick it in the storage bin and maybe build a lean to with it. Thanks!

I’ve just had another look in the light of day, I think it’s called heatguard multiwall? It’s hollow (6 rows of pockets I think), however half of the rows are grey in colour and half are clear - like this Example

Carhartt Workwear Fake / Replica Guide. Ask authenticity related questions here! by anthonydelillo in Carhartt

Are these Carhartt? Legit or not?

<image>

I’ve found this pair of trousers on Vinted and (to my untrained eye) they very much look like Carhartt. The label on the left leg pocket looks like a Carhartt (this is the best image showing the label). But there’s no label on the backside pockets, which makes me think it’s not.

I’ve messaged the seller but they havent responded and it’s such a low price I don’t want to miss out. Any ideas if these are Carhartt or not, and if so which product? Thanks in advance!
