Hello people of the earth .
I have been a sort of small holder for many many years .. I have had to give it up due to spinal probs and old age ..am now heading to a decent sized greenhouse 12 x 10 feet or so and 6 foot to the gutters , have just built my bottom heated mist propagation bed unit etc.
Am about to have built some five engineering brick built raised beds 9 900 mm high ) in linked runs of six mtrs in metre square beds. Photos to follow when the landscapers & builder start work ( imminent )
We are going for a whole re jig of everything for Mr Nearly who lived here nearly 6 yrs ago, nearly did ascape sacpe job , nearly renovated the place ,nearly installed a central heating system that nearly worked . ( got the idea of Mr Nearly yet ? ) He also built several small concrete carp ponds and nearly made then water tight .
Before spine probs took over completely I've been using a 3 tonne digger and heavy breaker hanging off it to smash up the concrete ponds etc and load it into 6 skips to get rid of most of it .. there is still 2 or 3 skips to go .
I'm especially interested in the greenhouse and mist propagation aspects for I want to clone some very small plants I've found in the local area to see if they can be used as ground cover around the pond ( in the new set up ) and also in small boarder beds.
I'm also interested in trying to locate or discover some of those yoghurt sized gel pots of rooting opaque jelly ( Miracle grow
) where you put green leaf very soft cuttings in and they root in the jelly .
In the past I've used a fungicide free cellulose wall paper paste made with cooled boiled water & addeed a few drops of tomato feed & baby in it and dipped the cuttings in some cold willow twig infusion for a day or so .. it worked but nowadays I can't seem to find fungicide free cellulose paste .( I also used to pre hatch seeds for a fair 1 inch root in poly pags for things like carrots lettuces , onions and cabbages etc to get them quickly rooted and going )
