Recently, well 3 months agoI discovered Home Farmer magasine. From this I have
found sites and ideas. My garden soil is solid clay and my husband and I are
both disabled. The cost of raised beds in money and mobility terms to build is
a bit much. Currently I have five growbags on a tarpauline with a plastic
cloche over it. we have more lettuce than we can eat!. Using a waste piece of
commercial green fencing ( like solid six foot high chicken wire ) I have made a
garden divider. One side of the garden gets no sun due to overhanging trees.
This divider now has pots at growbags at the bottem with peas and peans in. At
the top in empty 2 litre coke bottles are flowers ( no slugs) and today I
started upside down tomatoes in coke bottles. Yes I do think the pots are too
small but we will see. All these are obvious ideas but I never thought of
them...
Am looking forward to the smallholders show in July at the south of England show
ground. Rang today to book the mobility scouters to get round the site and was
told they are £20 each. So now my husband will be sitting in the car park for
the day and I will be in a bad mood, in pain. I don't mind paying but most
shows we go to they are complimentary.... We can not take our own scouter as
we will need an empty car due to being end of term and daughter comming home
that evening.....
Any advice on growing up side down tomatoes welcomed......
