Jean Griffin – Radio Gardener

Radio Gardener, Jean Griffin talked about some of the things that need to be done in the April Garden

Here’s that recipe for Garlic  Pesticide
Put 2 garlic BULBS ( not cloves) into 2 pints of water.
Simmer until soft allow to cool.
You may need to sieve the result.
Top back up to 2 pints and store in a lidded jar.
 Add 2 tablespoons of the garlic liquid to 2 gallons of water with 2 tbs of thick washing-up liquid.
Using a rose on the can, sprinkle the liquid over the hostas.
Repeat every two to three weeks.
 Not guaranteed as a full cure but is helpful!

 

Godstone “ hole” or “collapse” update.

Here is the latest Drone footage shot by local resident Jim Thawley and shared with permission a month on.

Updates have dried up at the moment I can only guess the foam cement is still in a state of setting or tests are being carried out.

We can see clearly from the footage the foam cement that was pumped in a little while ago. We can also clearly see where the Gas provider has rerouted the gas main in a new trench to the south side moving the supply away from the hole (the yellow pipe).
