I always have too many courgettes.

The answer to the potato question, IMO, is no.

Am I right in thinking I can compost expanded polystyrene?

My peas have flowered and I have the start of my first pod coming through :-)

Could be a first attempt success story !!! Usually takes me 2 or 3 years to grow something sucessfully !

My pea plants have gone. Despite a careful arrangement of netting and bricks, I have fat chickens instead.

Oh no heebiejeebie :(

That happened to my peas a couple of years ago. Got up one morning and they had all vanished, nibbled neatly off by I know not what.

My patio, brick pavers on sand with weed-proof membrane over hardcore, has become particularly fertile since I put growbags on it, and there's huge amounts of greenery between the pavers. Obviously nutrients and feed and such are draining out of the drainage holes at the bottom of the growbags, into the sand and provoking a lot of weeds.

So I want to napalm the weeds, without affecting my growbags. How best to do this?
