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

Plant upright, 2.5cm deep in heavy clay soil; up to 10cm deep in sandy soil.

Go on, have a go and share your results with us in the #summer ... See more

Here's our last #fridaytip for #November. If you live in a dry part of the country, be sure to water your #compost heap, it helps the rotting down process.

Those who have had plenty of #rain, remember it is important not to tread on wet soil as your weight will compact it - making it hard for plant roots to penetrate. Using a board to walk across a veg bed helps distribute your weight. #fridaytip #fridayfeeling #organic #compost ... See more

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:
