A new bed opened up from beneath covers to accomodate salad thinnings. Chris did the digging, Junka the planting.
Chris diluted the barrel of nettle tea by half. A week or so ago Misato collected 8.5kg of nettle which was added to 85 litres of water. The nettles have since liquified and we now have a batch of around 170 litres. This should then be diluted 5:1. I've also been reading that nettle fertilizer should be allowed to fully ferment (stop frothing) before being used as it produces heavy chemicals during the process. We have around 50 litres of 10:1 in the bothy which we should used first!
We have been cropping salad heavily to supply Nisa for their new coffee lounge, Boulders. This is great for business, but we really don't have enough to keep up with demand: 66 units of salad in the last week (8 kg), which may not seem much, but it's probably a record for us.
Oooh, that's a nice pumpkin!!
