Into The New Era ....

in palnet •  5 years ago 

This looks fantastic! I'm catching up late to this because I was away all last week on a hillwalking trip, and since I got back things have been caraayzee...

I bought a flat with two private gardens in 2002. I was never successful in planting veggies, mainly because the gardens were stuffed with beautiful perennial flowers. But I did grow a lovely herb garden - until local youths decided to push my shed over, flattening the herbs :(
I also grew garlic very successfully. I bought an organic garlic bulb and planted each clove about a foot deep in the soil in autumn. Then I just left them till spring, when I harvested the most delicious garlic bulbs EVER!

One tip is to look out for community gardens. A community garden near me holds regular gardening courses, mainly on growing your own veg, and they're really cheap to attend. I did a fantastic course on container gardening. Container gardening is great for growing your own veg, as it helps keep down pests and it stops plants like mint taking over the whole garden.

I'm jealous of your fruit trees!

Enjoy!

Great advice thanks not see any around here seems about dyer on that from locally would get one start but the council are selling all the land for new houses they don't give a monkeys about the greenbelt 💯🐒

Ah - councils are dreadful. Our local one tried to sell off greenbelt land to a property company, and they ended up with a huge protest on their hands. The protests have been going on for years, and the council seems to have given up. The locals in that area started a community garden on the land (a different one to the one I did a course with, though I have been involved in this one too). They sent round petitons, organised events and created a "children's wood". Maybe we're just more bolshy up north!

It's a joke here and the locals are soft haha. I think within ten mile radius of me they are building a least 10,000 home and that's at least. They don't listen to a word anyone says just money money money. I think they are one of these councils that got private loans and are more screwed. Problem in the roads are crap and not being update nor are the amenities. The shit will hit the fan soon, then people will wake up 💯🐒

I live in Glasgow, and the nefarious practices of our city council are so notorious that a book written by an American academic says

locals in Glasgow have found that a seat on the city council is the road to riches.

But at least most people know that's the case, so we do tend to take them to task regularly.

Unfortunately when they think they are right you will never win if they claim you own them money the your screwed. But alas their time will come and soon I think when people realise it's extortion 💯🐒
