Everyone's doing so much! Black belt - I'm exhausted after reading your work!
One thing I'm doing because of the drought - making compost using the trench method - you dig a 2m x 2/3m x 2/3m (the last is depth) trench, and start throwing your kitchen waste and waste paper and cardboard (nothing cooked, though, and no meat, raw or cooked) into it, covering each load of waste with a spadeful of the earth you've removed.
You fill up the first third of this in about a fortnight, then move to the middle section for another two weeks, then the third section. By the time you've finished the third section, the first is ready to be used.
You need to water it to keep it moist.
Worms come haring in from across the garden to dine on the goodies you're throwing in.
You can cover it with a piece of plywood, though I just have some chickenwire to keep off my friendly local foxes.
The compost made by this method is magic, and really enriches your soil.
I'm going to have to find some source of mulch to keep the moisture into the beds - the only source I have at the moment is some big leaves from a couple of giant plants that got knocked over by the high winds.
And I've learned why you should be patient about sowing your broad beans - by the time the Ice Saints were finished, mine were sprawling adolescents and they're lounching around the soil instead of standing up straight. (I meant lounging, but somehow I like lounching, a combination of slouching and lounging.)
