Throw all waste in a pile and let it rot- the bugs will love it, if you want to keep cats/foxes/gammons away from your vegetable beds then sprinkle some extra hot chilli powder down once every week or two

I have a question for you Dan and other green fingered people: my house is new and there are no plants or trees in the small area around it. How easy is it to make tree seedlings from cuttings? Buying tree seedlings seems to be megabucks.

It depends a lot on the tree, some are quite easy some are really hard- the way I was looking at you essentially clamp a plastic ball around a tree branch (with some bark peeled away) with some wet moss inside and it roots the sapling while still attached to the main tree. I was gonna try it this year, as well as cloning a bunch of currant and gooseberry but 'rona kind of changed priorities.

Buying trees from most garden places is absolutely ludicrous money, this year I bought lots of bare root transplants from a firm (hedging.co.uk) and sorted them myself and it was a lot cheaper. It's right towards the end of buying season (twice a year) but you might find a few deals left and you still have a month or so of good planting time

I'm disappointed but saw it coming several miles off when the rlb campaign came late and failed to do owt. Scant comfort, but I will take what I can get.

The media/vested interests will see any leader of the labour party with even vaguely socialist goals castigated and smeared at any cost- either the policies will go so lukewarm and limp so as to be useless/not horrify the billionaires and/or starmer will face whatever dirt the tabloids have on him/wish to manufacture at will.

So here's a question: how much more "improving" can Boris' health do before he's a paragon of the human form? He was admitted a few days ago for routine tests, but with only mild symptoms. Immediately goes into ICU, and has been "improving" ever since. Obviously at some point they've been bullshitting everybody about his condition, but I wonder which bit in particular they were lying about.

Well, lots of poo poo the plp were rumoured to have been complicit in is now confirmed and other poo poo has been exploding in chain as people read through it and put stuff together and more traitorous wretches start deleting everything and protecting accounts.

It was already bad enough to make me quit but just seeing the relish those fuckers put into killing the chances of electoral success in 2017 was physically sickening, as is thinking about how things would have been better over the last three years for my family, and then the country as a whole. All that effort so many people put into the effort, all that time spent away from their families and friends, so they could be backstabbed.

Corbyn couldn't purge because it wasn't in him, and even if he was capable it would have been a challenge even with heavy membership support. Now? countdown till starmer does a call for unity and asks folk to put this all behind them at this difficult time and nothing of note is done to sort poo poo out and even more members haemorrhage away and some centrist courtier will bang out a few thousand words for the graun on how these painful times will be a new rebirth for the labour party or some other trite bollocks, while the next set of knives are sharpened within the party apparatus

Yeah, the Guardian's coverage is pathetic and completely ignores the worst behaviour. From their article you'd think it was just people saying a couple of mean things and it's easily dismissed as another story about splits in labour, because it doesn't make any attempt to show just how terrible the behaviour of senior people was

Barry-

Outdoor work like that should be paid appropriately and the workers need to be looked after carefully. If you are working for someone who is paying you the bare minimum then demanding room and board, they are stealing from you in ways many employers can only dream of. They are stealing from the eastern european workers who suffer the same miserable time you would too, but they tend to care less as a few months poo poo wage and conditions here can still let them live well back in eastern europe for the rest of the year.

I'm guessing that isn't what you will be doing, and so in exchange for your quite literal blood, sweat and tears you will get a poverty wage while a shareholder in an agricultural firm spends most of the profit from the sweat of your brow on whatever the latest bourgeois nonsense is or perhaps just lets it join much other stolen labour in offshore accounts somewhere sunny and despotic.

There's plenty you can get done outdoors, both volunteer and paid that will treat you far better than intensive fruit picking- that kind of work won't "toughen you up", it will do it's best to physically and mentally destroy you. I have been progressively doing more farm work for the last few years- even when I'm well it still can wipe me out for days at a time and I still don't work on my busiest days half as long or even one quarter as hard as a picker has to in order to make quotas.
