    I had a few decent parsnips last year and some decent carrots this year, hopefully next year I will get both sorted. I might do half and half in my bin after I've swapped the compost over 😁👌👍🙏❤️💪

      @nickthegardener.1120 I am definitely moving my carrots and parsnips Nick, I will hopefully have a new novel way of growing them in a temporary area next season.

    The past couple of years I grew carrots in the greenhouse. Not so good last year, but we had some. This year tried in tubs in the poly. First one no show, second one is full of big carrots! Will leave them to use for the new year's day Christmas dinner when the unruly mob come to us! Merry Christmas to you and Mrs King and the family. All the best xx

    Let's hope 2025 is a bumper growing season.

    Hi Terry. I’m exhausted just watching you 😉. You have a great system on the go there. Compost is so expensive you are definitely saving a fortune. I don’t grow enough to need to store in situ. I freeze my surplus though. Take care. Mags

    The 30litre containers from Oaklands are the best value containers I've come across.
    Those & Containerwise cell trays are, IMO the best garden products I've come across in the past 10 years.
    Why would any sane person throw away compost?
    Heck, they throw away their weeds & unwanted produce where my plot is, which is why I have two 1.5m³ compost bays on the plot, three 0.75m³ bays at home & several 1m³ dumpy bags of compost put by for when the new house (small house, big garage/workshop on a 700m³ plot) gets finished.

      @@GARDENER42 they make too much money on one container so why would you mess around cleaning the compost. 30ltr cloth pot and compost, let's say £15 and one plant makes them £1000, it's just a pity they don't spend a bit disposing of the unwanted materials responsibly. Thank you for your time in commenting I do really appreciate it.
