@EmmaGreenshaw @Sofaflyer Thanks @EmmaGreenshaw . Happy growing #britishflowers

@Dotties_FlwrFrm @TeenyWeenyFarm @Sofaflyer I think it is the urea that acts as the activator - I don't know if coffee contains this. #britishflowers

[Niki Roberts @bucketsofblooms]

@Sofaflyer @Dotties_FlwrFrm How long would that have been rotting down for Mike? #britishflowers

[Niki Roberts @bucketsofblooms]

@Neil_gardens I could only ever make a tiny drop in the ocean of compost requirement! #neverenough #britishflowers

[Niki Roberts @bucketsofblooms]

@UpperRhos @TeenyWeenyFarm New business stream .. worm breeding??? #britishflowers

[Niki Roberts @bucketsofblooms]

@normandygrower @TeenyWeenyFarm Do you 'feed' it kitchen waste? #britishflowers

[Niki Roberts @bucketsofblooms]

@Neil_gardens Now that's what I call a compost heap!! #britishflowers

[Niki Roberts @bucketsofblooms]

@BeeFlowerGarden @Sofaflyer @EmmaGreenshaw @MFCFlowers Who needs a gym membership - just have a 3 bay compost heap! #britishflowers

[Niki Roberts @bucketsofblooms]

@BeeFlowerGarden @EmmaGreenshaw @MFCFlowers Oh what a shame - that would have worked out at 9 tonnes per FFTF member, a far better use!! #britishflowers

[Niki Roberts @bucketsofblooms]

@normandygrower The blacker it was the more I liked it. I never had a problem, but always planted through it into soil level below - a bit like planting through black plastic #britishflowers

[Niki Roberts @bucketsofblooms]

@BeeFlowerGarden @EmmaGreenshaw @MFCFlowers Oh no - just when it is probably most useful! #britishflowers

[Niki Roberts @bucketsofblooms]

@BeeFlowerGarden @Sofaflyer @EmmaGreenshaw @MFCFlowers How long does it take to compost and how many times doe you turn the compost? #britishflowers

[Niki Roberts @bucketsofblooms]

@Sofaflyer Thanks Mike. Great hour everyone, thanks @RubyBlooms2018 and @thepatientmole . Have a good week. #britishflowers

[Niki Roberts @bucketsofblooms]

@kim_ford6 @RubyBlooms2018 I love a plan! #britishflowers

[Niki Roberts @bucketsofblooms]

@BeeFlowerGarden @RubyBlooms2018 Worth trying if you have excess seed. It's always better to buy fresh (or save your own if possible) for the next year so nothing to lose #britishflowers

[Niki Roberts @bucketsofblooms]

@RubyBlooms2018 I have direct sown larkspur, ammi and cornflower (autumn), cerinthe, nigella and moluccella #britishflowers

[Niki Roberts @bucketsofblooms]

@RubyBlooms2018 @HelenHeartsease @TreesPayne @thepatientmole Absolutely. lots of time yet #britishflowers

[Niki Roberts @bucketsofblooms]

@TeenyWeenyFarm @TreesPayne @BeeFlowerGarden @farm_pink @englishpeonies @Sofaflyer @RubyBlooms2018 Yes I've read the same thing. I've got red/yellow ones that have multiplied in my garden - not the best selling colour though - not blush enough! #britishflowers

[Niki Roberts @bucketsofblooms]

Good evening all. We are talking seed sowing and propagation tonight. What are you sowing and growing? Share your tips and questions #britishflowers hour with @RubyBlooms2018 and @Sofaflyer

[Niki Roberts @bucketsofblooms]

@kim_ford6 @RubyBlooms2018 The more you grow the more you will spot the useful self-sown seedlings you want to keep. spotted my first selfsown orlaya last year - brilliant! #natureshelpinghand #britishflowers
