With startlingly laconic humour and insight he deconstructs the modern agribusiness and the ‘modern plague’ : manicured ornamental lawns. In this video he offers an antidote, which is an antidote to both our currently unsustainable practices AND our unsustainable culture. Both of these have to change, to adapt. Permanently.

June.  Growth is amazing.  The children sprayed the potatoes with marestail/horsetail this week. Seedlings are up.  Planted york cabbage plants, brussel sprouts, flatleaf parsley and squash (butternut I think).  Problem with slugs eating plants already, trying seaweed powder.

Shed has arrived. Assembled in just under an hour by O’Brien’s from Galway. Looks good.

We are still meeting at 6pm every wednsday, fohera lane, Ballinamore.  Do visit the garden, you can also join, we are still open to new members.

Enjoy the sun!
