Not only has he filled up one side of a new zealand style compost box full of fresh strawy horse manure from the stables at the top of our allotment site, he has sieved the current compost which looks gorgeous (shall I post pic of the heap?).
To top it off, he bought me a 2 year subscription to Organic Gardening Magazine (OGM). We let our last subscription lapse as towards the end of the subscription, I found I wasn’t as eager to read the magazine as I did when I was able to hunt it down in the shops. Now, due to another excellent gardening magazine recently established, a number of shops no longer stock OGM and I can’t get hold of it within a 30 mile radius by bus. I do buy Grow Your Own Magazine from shops. I know it is cheaper to subscribe, but I wonder if the eagerness to read it when it would come through the door would fade - twisted logic perhaps, but if I buy it froma shop, I am more likely to read it. We used to also subscribe to Kitchen Garden Magazine, but now I buy this from the shop as well.
