Ocelot Spleens Aug 2022 4:32pm, 29 Aug 2022 34,575 posts	0 Ocelot Spleens I have my Pak Choi seeds. I also got two free cakes and two free coffees because my birthday treat was still valid. Decent half hour out.
EvilPixie Aug 2022 4:40pm, 29 Aug 2022 35,169 posts	0 EvilPixie As a runner (rather than triathlete (for now)) I have more time at weekends So thinking I may do more next year especially as there were times when some salad veg was hard to come by What can I do over autumn winter to improve soil in my raised bed?
Ocelot Spleens Aug 2022 5:02pm, 29 Aug 2022 34,576 posts	0 Ocelot Spleens I collect fallen leaves over the autumn, make leaf mold each year, and add that to the soil.
EvilPixie Aug 2022 5:05pm, 29 Aug 2022 35,171 posts	0 EvilPixie Good tip Did you collect from elsewhere or just your garden? Black bag with holes or just a container?
Ocelot Spleens Aug 2022 5:23pm, 29 Aug 2022 34,577 posts	0 Ocelot Spleens Garden. We have a few trees across the back. Yep. Black bag with holes. A little water if very dry. 6 months they're ready to go.
