Its late in the season and some of the slips look like they have salt of the leaves which I think could be over watering?

    Thanks for sharing another inspirational video Meka đŸ„° Have you considered / ever tried planting African yams (not potatoes) in the UK? Secondly, what do you normally do with old compost (ie after harvesting your crops from containers or pots)? Do you recycle it?

    • @mekashealingjourney
      @mekashealingjourney Pƙed 3 dny

      My pleasure always thank you for watching @herbaltea5546. I grew African yams in my first year in the allotment actually outdoors and they started growing and I was excited but the foxes kept digging them up. I didn’t bother growing it anymore because it requires a fairly long and hot season to grow nothing compared to sweet potatoes and we eat so much of it that I just can’t grow enough to be self sufficient in so it’s just not worth my time and energy. I reuse all my compost in pots I might just add in fresh compost to revive the soil and it’s good to go.

    Brilliant compost advice. Chicken poo (for me) or occasional human wee (for my son's garden compost heap on my advice) activates all the good microbes like you say. not too much, just 50/50 green stuff, like our kitchen green waste, grass cippings or nettles from the railway paths near our home and a bit of carboard, old hay/straw or shredded paper. Your garden looks so healthy! Love it.

    I agree on your urine idea. Don't be shy about speaking about it. Please; anyone reading this... Consider medications that you may be excreted in your urine. Keep in mind; when you give a urine sample for drugs... it shows up. So... would the drugs in your system effect your compost? ... I do not know; but, its something to investigate. Drug free? Have at it in your compost! Nice garden!
