We get the compost that they bring round on the truck which is fine for the garden but no good for seedlings and cuttings.

Post by: janmack on October 02, 2011, 23:17:34 PM: Or just come round Lissa Park...all the locals do (nationality immaterial)...we've gone out some mornings and have been amazed at how much plant life has disappeared...have not even had one single grape of our vines this year...but we sure know who have;0 Only hope my olives survive (weirdly they are no longer shrivelled??!!) Not really complaining as we have had 7 years of this and it is quite amusing to see "our plants" growing nearby ;)
