I

That

base,

looks

feet

> Question 1:  Should I bury this section ?

> Problem 2: This aside, I've aquired an alotment close by.  I worked hard

> I've fertilised them once a week, alternating between Phosphrogen and

> wouldn't really know what to test for anyway !  (I'm guessing this may be
a
