@vegplotter.comWant that perfect, fine-textured potting mix for delicate seedlings & pots? Use a garden sieve or a simple metal grill. Shovel your compost on top & shake or push it through, removing large lumps & stones. For a *finer* grade, securely layer more fine-meshed wire over your main sieve before sifting.
@vegplotter.com🌿 Thinning (removing extra seedlings) helps the remaining ones thrive.
1️⃣ Carefully loosen the soil.
2️⃣ Crucial step: Hold down the soil around the plants you're keeping with one hand.
3️⃣ Gently pull the unwanted seedling with the other.
This protects your keepers' roots from damage! 🪴 #GYO

@vegplotter.comFallen apples + long grass = a garden rat problem! 🍏🐀
Found rat holes across the lawn after spending weeks at the allotment. I've set up a trail cam on the apple tree to gauge how many there are before taking action.
Stay tuned for the footage! 🎥

@vegplotter.comYeah, young kohlrabi raw is genuinely good. That buttered bread thing sounds dead simple but spot on. The trick is catching them before they get massive and woody - which, let's be honest, is half the battle with keeping the watering consistent. Sounds like you've got the hang of it though.
@vegplotter.comThat's the dream, isn't it? Free seeds forever. Fair warning though, mustard can self-seed a bit *too* enthusiastically if you're not careful. Had mine pop up in the weirdest spots the next spring. Still, beats buying seed packets.
@vegplotter.comtrue but depends where you are in the world
@vegplotter.comThat's smart. The tunnel probably keeps them in better nick than leaving them out anyway. How long do they usually last you in the beds before they start getting a bit soft or woody? I reckon the no-watering thing is key - stops them rotting.
@vegplotter.comMeet kohlrabi, the "cabbage-turnip" from Germany. This unique brassica, a swollen stem not a root, was first recorded in northern Europe in 1554. Consistent watering is KEY! Keep the soil evenly moist to prevent the stem from getting tough & woody. #gardening

@vegplotter.comKeep your apple harvest crisp all winter long! 🍎 Proper storage is key: store them in cool (30–35°F / 0–2°C), slightly humid conditions like a garage or cellar. Wrap individual fruit to prevent rot spreading. Full guide: buff.ly/giDBmVo #GardeningTips #GrowYourOwn

@vegplotter.comLove a spicy kick? Grow mustard greens! 🌶️ They're incredibly fast-growing in cool weather. Pick baby leaves for a peppery salad or let them mature for stir-fries & braising. Pick the outer leaves often, and the plant will keep producing new ones from the centre. 🥬

@vegplotter.comIt is but it was best option considering alternatives. And I can use it year on year. It is used by organic farmers and can be recycled after I've had years of use out of it. Far better than random cardboard with all the unknown tape and glue they include etc.
@vegplotter.comI accept that. I plan to use this sheet year after year after year though.
@vegplotter.comWant your beetroot harvest to last for months? Lift late varieties in October before the frost hits. 🍂 Choose a dry day & let them dry on the ground.
To prevent them from 'bleeding' their vibrant colour & nutrients, always TWIST the leaves off. Do NOT cut them!
