Cocoa Shell Mulch 70 litre
Cocoa Shell Mulch 70 litre was £14.99 now £10.99
Cocoa shell mulch is made from natural renewable resources as a by-product of chocolate manufacturing – giving a chocolaty aroma as you open the bag. This mulch will break down over time rotting into the soil which helps improve its structure – by topping it up every few years you will maintain the benefits.Perfect for suppressing weeds and holding moisture in beds and borders once the cocoa shell has been spread and has got wet it will form a crust which binds it together – this crust will then help prevent slug and snail attacks. Each bag covers approximately 1.4 square metres spread at a depth of 5cm Please note: Cocoa shell contains the naturally occurring substance theobromine – if eaten by dogs this can be very harmful so please keep your dog away from the treated area until the mulch has settled i.e. a couple of weeks. A white mould may occasionally appears on cocoa shell when first applied this soon disappears as the cocoa shell starts to form the crust which binds it together.70 litres

Broad Beans

Tuesday, May 11th, 2010

Broad bean seedlingsEasy to grow – just put them in. They need little attention other than some feeding and watering when it’s hot.

These are the seeds that most primary school children will have grown on blotting paper rolled up in jars! It’s something I did when I was at primary school – bought them home and planted them out and picked my first home grown broad beans aged about 8 or 9. I had them with bacon – something that I still think goes really well.

They’re relaxing to pod too – with their fat furry lined cases!

In the picture these are about 2 weeks old. They should be being planted out soon. They can also be sown directly into the ground.
