    no dig gardens - this sounds magic - anyone care to comment or pass on what they know, or dont know?

    i used old sleepers, but I got slated since they are full of creosote - so I made a point of checking that out, and apparently if they are pretty well aged, anything that was going to leach out will have leached out long ago. Most wood is treated with preservatives these days, so unless you are chopping down a couple of trees............ what kind of 'natural' preservatives do you have in mind? I prefer to use whats lying about and going to waste

    hello there,

    any tips on what type of wood to build a raised bed.. one that has natural preservatives against the wet... i would like to use non-chemically treated wood...

    any ideas?

    I was just going to cover up my raised beds with some cardboard and chuck composty stuff from the bottom of the dungheap on it over the winter - is there any problems with that - other than forcing my children to do it for me?

coffee grounds

in response to the wall comment: haven't heard about it... but could imagine that to work, it's not nice to crawl over coffee grounds as a slug? What's the fertiliser plant called again that you mentioned? I'm intrigued by it. I didn't get a notificaton of the comment you left on the wall, maybe notifications are only sent to discussions... Time will tell. Strangely, one of my lettuces got devoured by slugs, the other two, adjacent, same type etc are perfectly intact and great lunchtime…
