Well well, things are looking up! I ordered myself an extra treat over the Christmas break - some comfrey roots. I have potted up seven out of the ten that I ordered and hopefully they will get growing very soon.
I have put them in pots to give them a good start and I will probably pop them outside at the end of February. I am making an area to the back of my plot for green manure. The comfrey plants will be the main feature but I also plan to grow other green manure plants.
Comfrey makes a wonderful natural compost and is also great for making liquid feed by soaking the leaves in a bucket. (Smelly though!) I got my roots from ebay - a seller from a nursery.
Apart from that, it has been a windy couple of weeks. I have had to re-cover my beds a couple of times as the weed proof membrane had started to blow off. It is better to catch this happening early, or you could lose your valuable sheets altogether!
