Today was a very busy day in the Garden.
I couldn't wait any longer to prepare a planter as the Broadbeans are ready for planting and thankfully it was blue skies and sunshine albeit a bit cold.
I went to my local garden centre and bought 2 x 50 Litre Organic Compost However I only used one for the planter
Usually I riddle the compost however I only broke it down this time using a gardening fork. However for my other planters I will riddle in the Summer especially for things like carrots.
Next I positioned the plants where I want them in the planter. The great thing about using biodegradable toilet roll planters is I can just plant directly into the soil without having to turn them out.
To try and stop the cats from using them as litter trays, last year I made some mesh lids from chicken wire and a small expandable trellis.
I continued onto the other planters and emptied them it was a now or never kind of moment. Hense all the bin bags full of old compost.
Thats it the first vegetables of 2018 are out in the Garden = D
