becoming a ‘good’ gardener is simply learning not to become a plant hypochondriac and to distinguish real problems from little annoyances.

we had similar few years ago when cost-cutting young know-nothings were given task of cutting out 'dead-wood', quote on firing a guy; on top of his game whose decision making capability- "was tainted by experience"

Imagine having 20 years of admirable service under your belt and a 19-year-old with no government experience decides your position is "wasteful." And now you, at age 50 with two kids who are still in high school, are out of a job despite being a top performer and doing everything right. I gotta think even Trump supporters are feeling some kind of way about this.

@cm_bagot @Bodley15911089 it's an excuse to reduce costs of cash, could have better cashbox! + video cams stop most such thefts there's a huge difference in degree of crook between robbing machine / taking egg money and far worse crime of robbing someone in a shop

huge number of trials show Sowing compost crucial, poor development in early days = poorer plants and poorer cropping + most commercial sowing compost barely adequate, particularly if not fresh / stored well if you only use one you can't know trial several to find out

@Bodley15911089 @fortunefav91296 I was under impression business's have to accept legal tender, but no-one taking any action, thus- suggest found a 'Church of cash only' so it would become religious discrimination to refuse a cash only customer

indeed, and not popular with locals staunchly resentful of imposition, especially back then, when anyone from next county was a 'forriner' anyone from 'lundun' suspicious anyone from further afield a curiosity

research showed baking too hot or too long made unsuitable sowing compost, so ideally stir as you suggest, use cooking thermometer to keep below 212F, only need reach 180F for 10 minutes

@FlowerdewBob Yep, cooking a couple of batches sounds like the answer then. Campfire job - old metal bucket, let the fire burn down to coals & stir it a few times while cooking. I always try to buy-in as little as I can, even if it means work, so this will cut another product out. Cheers, Bob.
