Veg patch

[starsailor]

Tell that to the snails and keel slugs

I think I need to keep ducks.

Ducks will eat your slugs, yes, but they'll trample all your hard won veg with their great flat feet and eat your lettuces - ask me how I know.................. lol
They'll also trash your greenhouse when they're in there undercover because of the avian flu regs.

I love my ducks

I am so tempted to see if I could hire ducks just for a week or so, see just how much redding up of the sluggy things they could manage. There are wild mallards down the burn, but they usually get taken by the fox and they don't come into the gardens.

Well it looks as though our Cub pack will be having 2 small plots on the patch of garden (as part of a badge) so they can grow some produce to sell at a local event (raising money for a new hut)

This bit of garden was used by them for the same purpose about 30 years ago

Still be plenty of space for us though

Ha! I've probably seen you down town shopping without knowing. I'm up near the football ground. I have an organic veg gardening book in a drawer downstairs you can borrow that will help you with getting the patch sorted and what to plant where and also what none food plants to mix in to help your crop grow well and pest free.
