Well, this might be a bit off blog for me but then again maybe it isn't.
I have been busy over the past few days researching straw bale planting, companion planting and gardening in general. I text messaged a company yesterday that does bales of straw from £1. I asked if how much 20 bales plus delivery would be and I'm feeling stimulated to do this.
With straw bale planting you have to 'condition' the bales to start them decomposing and turning into lovely compost in the middle.h You do this by daily watering and fertilising every other day with a nitrogen rich fertiliser. I have been looking into this aswell and my old teabags are nitrogen rich and so are coffee grounds (so is human urine, but lets not go there). So today I plan going into town and asking at Costa and Starbucks if I can have their used coffee grounds ... we will see if this happens and I will try to update later.
I hope they reply about the bales before I spend too much money!
NJ is at school today, but the other 2 are off for a teacher training day so they go back tomorrow. I was so excited that this morning I was up before 5am, we were both washed and dressed by 6am and then we had to wait for school. We got there 15 minutes early, do you notice a pattern? I even did a bit of tidying up and collected a few cups from the kids bedrooms!
I know I will pay for this later and probably be snoozing on the sofa by lunchtime.
