Following on from the last post about the building of the new potting shed, see blog entry 'It Now Looks Like A Shed', 19th October 2012, here is an update for you. As can be seen by the photograph above a considerable amount of work has been done on the interior. The walls have been insulated, boarded and painted white, the base bricks rendered and electricity connected for the lighting. The potting area has been built consisting of a compost mixing area in the far corner, a large potting up area in the middle and a tray shelf nearest to the door for easy access to the glasshouse. The project continues, watch out for future updates.
Hello, from Alabama- : )
ReplyDeleteNice shed! It's nice to see what's going on through the blog. I hope all is well with all of you. It's a strangely warm fall here so far but should cool down next week. We have final exams next week and finish up the term next Friday. (Oh, yeah!)
Our football team, (not real football, I know), plays for the national championship on January 7. It's been fun to follow.
We think of everyone often. All the best from here!
Happy Holidays to you, Allen
Hello Alabama, lovely to hear from you. Year drawing to a close for us in the gardens, finish for Christmas on 19th December. Congratulations on reaching the national championship, good luck. Seasons Greetings to you all, Regards The Gardeners of Worcester College (P.S love our bags, using them for shopping and for carrying cuttings see blog entry dated 11th September 2012 'Cuttings 2012')
DeleteCongratulations! I see that Alabama won the championship beating Notre Dame 42-14, 3rd win in 4 seasons and back to back titles. Go Bama! best wishes Ali
DeleteI would be interested in due course to hear about the composts you use. I have happy memories of mixing John Innes No 2 compost with Askham Bryan horticultural students. In my early days at Hartlepool Parks dept we measured out in bushels!
ReplyDeleteHello Roger, thank you for your question. We used to use 'Goundreys', a local compost firm until they closed. Now we make a mix from 'Petersfield Growing Mediums Professional Range, No 2 Potting Supreme' and 'John Innes Compost No 1,ocassionally adding horticultural grit depending on the type of plants we are potting up. For seeds we use 'Petersfield Universal Supreme'. No bushels though, tip it out on the potting bench, get your hands in and mix!regards Ali
