Mike's Wisdom Shed: Tip No.3

"Best results only come from a well-manured ground. Never buy manure from dodgy unauthorized people who may come around, they'll quote one price, then after delivery claim a higher price. Compost from mushroom farms is supposed to be the best, but may be difficult to source. Keep tetanus booster jabs up to date; it is easy to cut oneself in the course of digging, etc. There is no substitute for deep digging, get that manure down there; turn weeds over & bury them, keep the soil broken up & open using a good wide rake, use a hoe (both types) to eradicate germinating weeds. "


Moog thinks dodgy unauthorised people should stay away. They come past the house often, and get barked at for their trouble. Moog thinks: "I like to bite dodgy unauthorised people on the leg. They tend to go away when I do that."
