Yorkshire Water are advising us to save water here to avoid hosepipe bans as there has barely been any measurable rainfall since March. I am using about 100l a day on my veg, so I am having to start deciding which to sacrifice in order to save the others, particularly at the allotment. Not what I want to be doing after all the effort of growing it.
Very little rain in the forecast, unless the hot spell next weekend ends in a big thunderstorm, which models are beginning to suggest it might. Much as I detest thunderstorms, I could definitely do with a deluge!
One thing I have not seen much mention of is the risk of fire, as everything is tinder dry. The prospect of lightning striking vegetation when it is like this doesn't bear thinking about.Last edited by Penellype; 11-07-2022, 08:03 PM.A life is like a garden.

Reply to Heated mat for Tom's and chilliesby raryI use a mix of six scoops of compost three scoops of sand/grit and two scoops of perlite,the quantity is unimportant as long as the ratio is the same, if for seeds I use this mix, if I am potting on I add some blood, fish and bone, along with a small quantity of chicken manure pellets
