We have been doing some work on the allotment (video)

Natural fertiliser with banana peels

I genuinely have no idea whether this will do any good. I'm keen to hear from others who have tried this! Some internet research suggests my efforts may be in vain ; however, I thought I would give this a go. It's an idea from Jen Chillingsworth 's book Live Green. So, banana's contain potassium, calcium and phosphorus, which are all important nutrients for some plants. I am using this mix mainly for the tomatoes. When we eat bananas (organic - i.e. not sprayed with pesticides), we pop the peels into a glass jar and cover with water and leave for 2 - 4 days. I then use this mix to water the tomato plants in the greenhouse, and compost the peels.

Taking over Plot 38b

Late in 2019, we took over a half plot at the Granville Park Allotments in Urmston, Greater Manchester. It's a bonny little plot tucked away from the main thoroughfare. I'll be honest - it needed some work a bit of attention, including the shed. I'll be posting more about our progress and sharing what we manage to grow!
