Hi madderbat, Tel BW not to worry about it being sterile. In the past I have grown pumpkins on the compost heap and had a great crop. Just don't plant directly into it but dig a little hole in it and fill with multi-purpose compost, plant into that and the heap will provide some gentle bottom heat (oh dear that will set HeyWayne off if he visits tonight). Once the plants are established the roots will 'explore' the heap and find all that they need to keep the plants healthy and happy.

I was wondering wher chat was. Nice to see you all tonight, but I'm not on long as I plan to watch Brokeback Mountain tonight.
Been wanting to see it for ages, will have to watch upstairs so I don't have to sit through Steve's comments as well!Kirsty b xx

I've been doing work Placement at Calke Abbey for the last few weeks & I am enjoying it.
I have learnt how to erect a cattle fence among other things.
Madderbat hopes you are OK!
Glad to hear Madderbat is feeling better, I am totally pooped now - overdone it about 5 times this week and now I know I am about to pay the priceHappy Gardening,

If I'm up to it we can go to the farm and get some well rotted 'oss poo which would be great to put courgettes and tomatoes on, but I have to take each day as it comes so can't really promise!Happy Gardening,
