couch aka twitch
"I combat twitch by digging out as much as possible (shake the soil off the roots or it will take the garden with it) then move a chook tractor over the area as the chooks seem to eat it. I then mulch as you have. I chuck the stuff I…"

- I grow mostly grow heritage vegies, and fruit trees. I save most of my seeds so have a fair range of herb and vegie seeds available to swap or for free if you want some - organic and mostly heritage varieties. I've also got lots of jerusalem artichokes, spearmint and kale and borage seedlings coming up.
I've convinced my long suffering partner to let me dig up more of the lawn as I'd gone overboard with planting garlic this year...
I've just pickled some radishes and been clearing land for a couple of new box gardens, planted a walnut tree and in the process of planting out some more seedlings. I've bought some eggs for my clucky bantam and have found most of the grafts I tried in spring have taken.Struggling to keep up with the garden - so much to do and so little time!

Charlotte said… - Wow don't those seeds sprout fast?! Wonder if its the breed or due to warmer weather, but they are shooting out!!
Couple questions for you... The seeds in little cluster, is that corn? The woodland strawberrys and raspberrys look the same to me, cant tell if theres only raspberrys? And how much room do the peas need?
I've germinated some of each type, now running round trying to sort out where to plant.
Thanks again!!! Char

I feell sorry for those in the States where they cannot produce from their own back yards now. Apparently its illegal to do so. Youd think they woul be encouraging it if anything but nope the exact opposite.

- Hi Todd, Yay thank you, received them this morning. The worms seemed to survive, there were two types, normal worms and then little white ones, what are the second type?
Will the berries grow ok in containers or should I put them outside?
Thanks again, I'll let you know how they all go!!!

A lot more younger people are as its a matter of havin to to eat.
My Stepp daughter is commin to me now and wishing she had learned what we tried to teach her to help make it through, shes 21. I got a 17 year old wanting to learn as she would love to grow their own food and alot more young uns are askin questions.
Its neat as they are the next generation of Oooobyers.

- Hi Todd,
Do you use a worm farm or just traditional compost? I'm still undecided if the cost of setting up a worm farm is too much. I havent received your post yet, did you end up sending it or has it gotten lost in mail? :) Ta

- Hi Todd :)
Thanks your your advice, I'm going to start with the vaseline/bag. I've been doing dishwashing liquid/water spray up to now and it has been working but there's just so many of them, they keep coming back.
I'll have to check when I get home, but I'm growing a couple different types of heirloom cherry tomatos I picked up from plant barn. I'd love to try a bush type you recommend..
As for soil, ideally I'd love to get myself one of those rotating compost bins. At the moment, I've got a small Bokashi compost bin. There is a lot of grass clippings around my place, which I could try to pile up, otherwise not much else to work with...
Address is
C Harrison
79 Methuen Rd
New Windsor

I dont mind reimbursing you for the postage, I feel bad because I dont have anything (yet) to send you.. Thank you so much, it's nice to know there's people out there for advice, no one my age gardens these days (I'm 23), so there's not that much support out there..
