This is the oak tree that has stood in our neighbours' garden, in the same spot for probably 150 years...until Storm Arwen.
A huge branch was ripped from the trunk, causing so much damage that the rest of the tree could not reasonably be saved.

@briar_farm I have the same kind as you.
Started off with something my partner upcycled for me. Then a few years later upgraded to the 'beehive' type.
Big enough for me, but I also have a council food waste bin + a council green waste bin for bindweed etc. As well as my compost bin.
@briar_farm If it works well, you might need to expand the wormery!
There's someone in America called Captain Matt who has a commercial wormery set up and does clips and videos on how he does it. Might be a viable way forward as you're developing more of the land.
@briar_farm 50C. That's good going, yes?
I read up on hot bins a while ago, but didn't get one in the end.
Seemed like the issues people had were mostly related to temperature and green/brown mix.
Sounds like you've got things just right π
Fake spiderwebs like these can trap and injure wildlife, including birds, insects and small mammals. Theyβre made from polyester or other artificial fibres, and aren't recyclable. Please choose eco-friendly decorations if celebrating Halloween!

@Englishomestead I overwinter my plants on the bedroom windowsill too π
But I only have a few. So they don't take up much space.
Some people think it's not worth it, but I don't mind having a go.
All the cool kids have overwintering chilli plants on their bedroom windows, no? π

@littlegreentip1 @o_burbidge Worth trying with vinegar?
White vinegar can be used on mould.
Big space a polytunnel, but can you clear it, spray the vinegar & then leave it on for a bit?
Best to look up the right process. I know when you use it on mould, you need to spray & then remove yourself from the area

@briar_farm Beautiful colours!
I made a paste the other day. Turmeric root, myoga ginger, root ginger and chillies. All whizzed up together.
Tested some with coconut milk to make a sauce and it was really good.
The rest has gone in the freezer to be chopped up and used through the year.
