Thanks to Conscious Creations for those magnificent oak handles!
Pure joy testing the wheel hoe, one of the most ergonomic tools I've ever used!
This investment will definitely cut the hours spent weeding on our hands and knees.
The oscillating hoe is in contact with the soil and slices the weeds just below the surface-causing minimal soil disturbance and eradication of weeds. Conscious Creations

From scraps to spuds - Take a look at how you can #recycle your roast dinner to make #compost for your #spuds!

If you only read one thing today, make it Alys Fowler's great article on why we should all be buying #organic #bulbs

Organic bulbs have been around for a while, but the choice was limited. The picture has just got a lot more colourful

We're proud to work with the Three Counties Traditional Orchard Project (TCTOP) to help protect ancient orchards in #Herefordshire, #Worcestershire and #Gloucestershire.

Charity helps preserve ancient orchards When Garden Organic teamed with the Three Counties Traditional Orchard project to help restore declining orchards, something very inspiring happened.

It's such a beautiful time of year, how is your #autumn garden looking?

If you bring any pots into the #greenhouse or conservatory check that they aren’t diseased, making sure there is no leaf curl, mottled leaves or mites lurking.

Once you have moved your pots take off the top centimetre of #soil and replace with #horticultural gravel. You can replace this with fresh #compost next spring.🌿

If you find our information useful you could help us to continue providing this advice by donating just £2 to Garden Organic today. Please text TIPS17 £2 to 70070 to donate. Thank you 😃 #fridaytip #organicgardening ... See more

As part of #RecycleWeek we have a very unique and practical way for members to #upcycle The Organic Way once you're finished with it.

Why not have a go at making these wonderful baskets and pots. This creative idea has been sent in by one of our members, Caroline Coode

Thank you Caroline, we think they look great! ... See more

#simpleswitch No.10 - If you buy one plant this year, make it comfrey.

Why? Because you can make the perfect liquid fertiliser from its leaves, by just brewing them in water. Bees🐝and other pollinators will love its flowers too.

Fantastic blog just gone up on the Agricology website written by Sally Cunningham about the value of growing non-traditional crops. We recommend you have a read!

David Coop: "It weighed a lovely 44kg, so we only just managed to lift it! As you can see, it made a truly impressive Halloween lantern, although it did take all night to carve it."

Jeremy Newson got 171lb with his and says "Hi Crew, here it goes—several photos to follow. Wonderful seed. Nearly 2 tons of squash and pkins off our patch. .. Our local hospice got £150 from guess the weight of the big pumpkin + £120 from the charity allotment jar." ... See more

Helen Pottinger broke her wheelbarrow 😮with her gaint pumpkin: "I planted one at my allotment and it weighed in at 7 and a half stone - or 105 pounds. I didn't know how we were going to lift it but eventually came up with the idea of enrobing it in an old sweatshirt, turning it upside down - and then two of us were able to lift it into the wheelbarrow by the arms! We managed to break the wheelbarrow in the process but did get it into the boot of the car and then used a saw to cut it into quarters back at home. So far, it has made 7 batches of soup, 6 pumpkin pies and a pumpkin and parsnip casserole = delicious! The remainder has been distributed amongst friends and neighbours and was very gratefully received!" ... See more

Another good Real Seeds Giant Pumpkin competition entry - a very fine squash by Annie Sax:
