Liquid chicken manure: Yum, yum

Liquid chicken manureI love the smell of manure in the morning.

But, er, I may pass on this – chicken shit that’s liquefied after storage in a plastic bag for a year. Lovely.

Pongs a bit, no question. But it’s fantastic for getting your compost going. Once this has seeped in and done its bit, the heap will warm up and start working again after a long, cold winter.

Rose and shine

RosebudIt’s a bit early for 12C, but I’m not complaining. The first day of real sunshine seems almost painfully bright after months of winter gloom.

It’s got me panicking, though; I’m nowhere near finished digging at the allotment.

Tomorrow I’ll be digging like a lunatic to catch up.
