Compost maker

I’m gardening on a very tight budget this year, so it’s great when freebies arrive for me to try.

This bottle of Maxicrop Compost Maker arrived a couple of days ago. It must have come from one of the competitions or giveaways that I enter – it has come directly from the manufacturer, though, and I can’t remember which one. I just need to dilute a capful in a litre of water and add it to the compost heap every time I add a new layer of compost material.

Radishes

Yesterday I received two free packets of radish seeds from Thompson & Morgan, via an RHS trial.

I’ve got the bright red globe radish Cherry Belle and the cylindrical Mirabeau.

I don’t usually grow radishes, but 2008 is obviously going to be Year of the Radish in the kitchen garden, because I’ve already sowed some Rainbow mixed as research for a writing project I’m working on. They’re currently enjoying life in the Grow Dome.

The maximum temperature in the Grow Dome yesterday was 25°C.
The overnight minimum was 0°C.

  1. the weather has been glorious the last couple days, at least up here. its hard to believe its february! regarding radishes and gardning on a tight budget.. if you’re doing a research project with radishes, i have rather a lot of “Ostergruss Rosa” which .. well.. looks like a carrot. except its purply reddy in colour. and its a radish. Would you like me to send you some? (I owe you anyway!) I think there’s a full list of my seeds on my blog in the garden section (must update that actually, i’ve had a few more since i wrote it) and if you want any, and i’ve got them to spare then just yell :)

  2. Hi,

    I won’t offer you any radish seeds then…

    However, the good folks here at Wiggly Wigglers wondered whether you would like a couple of free packets of organic seeds for your garden. We’ve got quite a choice so if you’d like to have a look and let me know I’ll get it sorted.
