I do enjoy a bit of gardening porn

I thought this thread was going to be about the magazines in the potting shed .

It was. But then Deppity filled it full of Russian porn and home brew and no one else has been able to get in since.

I love this stuff. The videos are like John Wayne movies. I know that no one can shoot forty three bullets oul of a Colt six shooter, but I don't care. I know that in real life most of the crops will be eaten by slugs and that as soon as I open the allotment gates it will piddle down with rain, but stuff reality.

The trouble is Toots, I have noticed that as often as not the weeds grown on top of the cardboard. Even so, it is fun

Even so I have some quite determined growers amongst shrubs etc that have so far lost the battle but won the war. Each time I sally forth hoe, border fork and sometimes the deadly spray, when feeling particularly vindictive, I feel as if I'm on a winning streak, and for a while I am the champion. Then I take an innocent stroll around the estate again and there they are again leering at me with a smile so smug... It enough to turn a girl to concrete borders!

That went very nicely with my lunch. Not so easy in a flower border though do you think? I can just imagine the neighbours' comments when they wake one morning to find large parts of my front garden covered in cardboard. It beats weeding though!

Charles Dowding is one of the UK's foremost proponents of no dig gardening method and if you want my opinion, he is talking through his arse.

But he is a lovely fella. I have meet folk who have meet him and they all say that he is as decent in real life as in his videos. And although it is March in the movie the ground is not like concrete from the frosts. And he casually mentions putting a 4" layer of compost onto his beds which means that for his 1/5 acre plot he needs around 100 cubic metres of manure. And that means that he has a compost heap the size of a house.

But stuff all that, it is smashing video and I am watch it while drinking another cup of coffee and pretending that it isn't peeing down with rain.

Dunno if this Youtube link will work but it is worth fartarsing about for
