Hi
Having reached the age of 70 the bones and the back regulate the ammount of work I get through in a day. I set myself 1 task and when it is finished that is it for the day,it might be anything cutting lawns weeding working in the greenhouse having said that at present I am clearing the borders and preparing for next spring not a job for an old fellow like me but I regard age as just a number and while still capable just get on with it. Do you gardeners out there drink much tes/coffee the kettle in my house never goes cold, anyway back to the gardening I am hoping to go organic next season and have aquired 4 compost bins the ones that look like daleks and all garden waste (no meat products)is put in them I am also looking into the (No Dig) method an what it entails any tips would be helpful. My idea of organic gardening is feeding the soil and not using pesticides a jet of water will usually do the trick does it really matter if a leaf gets nibbled or a cabbage as a caterpillar on it I don't think so learn to live with it life is to short anyway back to the border with a cup of tea of course.
Happy Gardening
