Compost Blog; caring for Goji Berries

Weather:  Foggy, damp, wet, rolling fog, cloudy, clear blue skies, sunny, warm then cold, 4 degrees C
Spotted:  2 Great Tits, Wood Pigeon
There was no one at the allotment today so very quiet and peaceful.  Thought I would check the compost heap to make sure there weren’t any rats living in it.  I was surprised to find excellent quality compost made from food from the kitchen, toilet rolls, egg cartons and straw.  Didn’t think I’d ever achieve that.  I’ve put some of it on the beds.  Next time I will put some around the new current bushes. 

Listened to an amazing play on Radio 4 about Alzheimers.  It actually kept me listening on the allotment and enjoying the sunshine.  It was about how music can help people with the illness.  Lots of singing in it like Night and Day, It's a Long Way To Tiperary, When You're Smiling, Pack Up Your Troubles and I'm sure Hello Dolly wasn't far away.  
Took a chance with the Goji berry and pruned it back hard.  Seemed that was the right thing to do.

  2. good to see you're still at it. Some one was telling me of a radio play called 'cry Baby'something about cryogenics did you hear that at all whilst reveling in the joys of your own compost' Isn't wonderful when it actually changes
