Carrots safely in their beds…

Finished moving the carrots this evening (spread now over three raised beds).  Pigeons/cats/slugs allowing, we ought to have a good crop this year. 

Also put some runner beans in – though I’m not convinced they’ll grow.  I’m a bit late with them – not so much late in the season, as late in the century (they were meant to be sown by 2008!!).   😉

What a load of rubbish….or is it?

They say one man’s rubbish is another man’s gold, but imagine this – our rubbish could form part of the answer to our energy requirements of the future.  Have a look at Damian Carrington’s blog post for more details:  http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/damian-carrington-blog/2011/may/27/landfill-mining-waste-energy
