Fab time at RHS #Peat-free conference @ Wisley yesterday. Take-homes:
1) peat-free needs no extra feed
2) but match feed to compost - eg coir = low N high K so feed compost tea but not tomato food
3) we need legislation asap!

New petition: Review NHS policy on masks, safe air & ventilation to protect vulnerable
Vulnerable people — those with cancer, immune compromise, or chronic illness — should feel safe in NHS settings, not fearful. We’re calling for a 'do no harm' standard: an automatic right to treatment by FFP2/3 masked staff, safe air and ventilation in every setting and stronger infection control.

Found an unopened 3lb bag of self raising flour at the back of the cupboard about to go out of date. Any #cookery guys on here know if I can use it to make crumble topping?

We should not rest until the last foodbank closes due to lack of demand
The fact we have any food banks is the best indicator that wages have been flatlined as corporate profits surge. our system is broken and needs a re-set. .GOV should not need to top up folks wages and folk should not need charity to eat in the 21st century. We've gone wrong somewhere.

What a wet miserable day. Even Barney turned his nose up at a run out. We’ll make up for it tomorrow.
Spent the day writing. I’m so close to finishing my book. Then the editing & proof reading starts, not to mention seeing how best to get it published.
I’m a first timer. Any advice will be welcome.

Spring bulbs didn't do well last year in exceptionally large containers. Can't replace that amount of soil. Advice please about how to re-store the soil to productivity so the flowers bloom again.
