Hello again everyone! Today I’m offering up 25 postcards from the Royal Horticultural Society! These are all super super pretty floral postcards.
I made another google form ! I think I really love how organized these spreadsheets keep me!
If you filled out either of my other two forms, the last of them are going out first thing in the morning! Take care!
Feel free to fill out my form if you would like one! Once I’m able to get back to the post office I will make an offer for WW but I’m not sure when that will be unfortunately.
This subject cropped up recently. I've always argued that weedkillers and other nasty chemicals will break down in a compost bin. I asked another r/Composting member to suggest a nasty weedkiller to put into my compost to show that it can be denatured and rendered harmless after a year or so, and Aminopyralid was suggested, so i googled it to find out what the potential problems are with it.
A lot of us use straw from farms in our compost, and a lot of farmers use Aminopyrialid which is a potent weedkiller that targets broad-leaf plants. This can be transferred into our compost bins, then onto our gardens, potentially affecting all the lovely plants we were hoping to grow. Here's what the Royal Horticultural Society have to say on the matter:
>The weedkiller is bound to the lignin in grass in the manure and released as undigested grass residues decay. Once released it affects many broadleaved plants. However, the weedkiller is broken down by soil bacteria and should all be eliminated by the following year.
Also:
>It is not advisable to compost ruined crops. If they cannot be incorporated into the soil, bag them up and put out with household refuse (NOT green waste collection). Seek advice from your council if they won’t accept green waste in domestic refuse.
Here's the whole article - i picked out and stressed the two points which are pertinent to this post.
So i'm going to grab some straw from a local farm and chuck it in my compost bin to see what'll happen. I believe that if my compost bacteria can turn a chicken carcass into dust in a couple of weeks, they can break down this weedkiller into harmless chemicals (water, carbon, nitrogen etc) in a year or less.

I've only just discovered the website and it offers hundreds of articles on different gardening advice.
Hi everyone, I am selling a brand new, unused copy of the Royal Horticultural Society guest book (here).
It has a blush pink, linen cover, floral designs on every page, ample comment space, and a ribbon bookmark. It would be great for a wedding, or also for a B&B.
The tag on it says $21.99, Amazon currently selling it at $17.51, I will let it go for $12 + shipping.
Thank you!
