Enjoy…gathering the olives is a real family tradition in Southern Europe …it’s sad to see what’s happening in the bigger cortijos in the south of Spain where they are ripping up the big 200 year old olive trees and replacing them with much smaller ones that machines can pick directly from…
If that’s an insult it’s gone way over my head…
Can they speak the lingo?
No sadly.
That involves manual work, he won’t do that.
Anybody know of a quarry in Ireland that supplies horticultural grit about 5mm stone size. The grit needs to be granite or a good quality sandstone but not limestone.
It’s obviously for sale in garden centres but it gets dearer and dearer every year. Crazy money now for a small bag. I need a nice bit.
There should be quarries around Wicklow somewhere but these places don’t have an internet presence and don’t generally sell to the public. So I’m making the TFK call.
Thanks for the reply. No website of course but their facebook page shows14mm granite chip, which is a bit big. So unless you have some local knowledge I’d say it’s a bit big.
Give them a call.
This is TFK ffs sake

What are you looking for, a ton bag?
I’d need to get a ton delivered. But I’d take it yes if I got it. Problem is I’m Limerick and LK and surrounds is all limestone.
No one is going to deliver you a ton of stones from Wicklow to Limerick, unless you pay the serious money.

This is why the TFK call has gone out.
Galway stone based in Ardrahan. Might be doing a run down that way. I often pass them on the way to Limerick. Ring them and ask.

Make an awful mess in the garden using salt to kill the whures
Did you use a propegator to germinate the seeds or were they ok on a window sill?
I just had them by a window. But a few didn’t germinate so if you’ve a yoke that helps that I’d use it. I didn’t get any jalapenos sadly.
If you haven’t got an electric propagator or a seed tray with a plastic lid, a sealed freezer bag works well just sitting on the window sill.
