Ghostrider Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 ^^ They grow excellent mushrooms. To look at anyway, god knows what they taste like. But taste doesn't necessarily always matter with mushrooms. Scorrie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitzy Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 I use a combination of seaweed, hens pellets and bone meal. I always use the potato pellets in the bags. I have been using this for years with some good crops and some poor, because of poor growing weather - too cold. I also have a compost bin and this goes on the ground usually around beginning of April and dug in to help breaking up before planting end of April beginning of May - all dependant on the weather.

Lady Hilvergal Posted September 3, 2013 Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 If you've got anything organic but woody like old perennial stalks, shrub prunings etc. that take forever to compost, have a bonfire with them then use the ash either as a surface mulch or incorporate it with all the rest of the compost. Good worms are essential and they'll come by themselves in time, but if someone can give you some for starters, all the better. Tiger worms? Stripey jobs? I know them as brandlings. Incidentally, I've grown excellent tatties in a patch of soil where the cats used to crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davie P Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 Does anyone know if the SIC still provide cheap compost bins. I got one a while ago but somebody knackered it with a strimmer (you know who you are ) Is there anywhere in Shetland that you can buy worms?

MuckleJoannie Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 I think the cheap compost bins were only made available at special events. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
