  • Well this week has been a busy one. On my no dog allotment this week we have been so busy from planting plants which will grow me an amazing produce for the family to eat. Also from being not very useful last week I had to do all them jobs this week too! Which just made me feel overwhelmed. I think most of us are overwhelmed at this time of year as there are so many jobs to do. Thank you all.
    Buy me a coffee would make my day! ☕️❤️

    Your garden is looking fantastic this year! It’s good that you’re trying new things, even if they don’t do what you expected. Live and learn. Enjoy your summer and the fruits of your labor

    Hi Freddie! 🙋🏻‍♀️ Thanks for letting us know that crushed whelk shells don’t work as a slug deterrent. 🤣

    Glad your toe is better Freddie and the shells looked great as a mulch for your peppers. Take care

    I put eggshells all around my peppers to keep the slugs off. I love the white bench on your little shed deck!

    Think of the seashell as a long-term lime source/fertilizer instead of a barrier for the slugs.
    We all overwhelmed by the To Do now and again. You are doing well.
    Cute little bench.

      That’s good, what do you mean by a fertiliser though? Like to use it like blood fish and bone? Thanks

      @@freddiesallotment My lazy answer is search YT or google. It's calcium, just like egg shells, but harder.

    Such a shame the Shells didn't work, they look really nice in the pots though. Niwaki tools are just fantastic, a real favourite of mine. I bought the same hori hori at Chelsea and have used it so much, such a good investment. The snips you bought looked great too.

      Yes it was a shame about that but oh well not much I can do about it. Yes the niwaki hori hori is amazing, I love it!

    Money not well spent Freddie 🤣🤣🤣 I bought it too and they munched my cabbages last tear too. Worth a try but such a waste of money!

    Shame about that the shells.How about putting the shells around the pond so it looks like a beach.

    • @freddiesallotment
      @freddiesallotment  10 днів тому

      Yes but I think they will fly away! I might put them in the bottom of the pond! Thank you! ☺️

    Shame about the shells I thought it would work as people swear by egg shells as a deterrent sea shells are similar idea.

    • @freddiesallotment
      @freddiesallotment  20 днів тому

      Yes mee to, but I found the egg shells don’t matter anyways aswell!

    Guess you’ll have to bribe a bum at the convenience store to buy you beer for those slugs like all us kids did in the good old days , or ask dad? Beer usually works because everyone knows slugs are reincarnated drunks .

      Haha, yeah well I’m sure the corner shop man would probably let me get away with it. Hahah
