Marinated salt of pork bones goes well, as do bacon bones or Christmas ham with the bone - the ones you get from the proper butches that smoke them rather then cure them with salty liquids. Pctek - cheers :D they now in the shade now. The ones I grew from seeds - only get like 2 or 3 strands haha. Maybe overtime they increase thickness and the no. of strands :confused: I think the previous chives that is still in the garden now. They grew them from stuff they bought at the markets, which still had the roots. Impressive that you get that much from one plant.	Nomad (952)

The big green pot is normal chives but v thin. The single chive (std) is in our garden. So doesn't grow like weeds :D	Nomad (952)

Patience, lots of manure and compost and you'll have heaps in no time, they don't get real thick, they are chives after all, not spring onions. But they will get bigger and more of them. Even before going to seed. That single one - what's that in? Don't like the look of all that bark. Give it real food, manure, compost, bark is crap because it leaches nitrogen for one thing.	pctek (84)
1251822	2012-01-04 04:06:00	Just planted the big pot. I thought I could keep them there :D Running out of space in the garden. The single one - that is bark on the top. Beneath is compost - std vegetable type from Bunnings. May also have sheep manure pellets slow release from The Warehouse. We had the smelly stuff before. Which type do you suggest? We also have weekly - the powder fertiliser stuff - mixed with water. Does tomatoes need anything different? 1st time with tomatoes. We have like 10 plants out now, from seeds. No wonder I am running out of space :D	Nomad (952)
1251823	2012-01-04 05:43:00	Tomatoes like lots of tomato food and plenty of water, we don't use any chemicals in our vegetable garden everything is done organically. Compost (our own), horse poo in the compost from time to time and we have a bokashi system as well and use both the compost it makes and the liquid it gives off, occasionally sheep pellets if we don't have any compost ready. So far we have had 2.5Kg of climbing beans and 4.5kg of dwarf beans, red onions the size of dinner plates, 2kg carrots, spuds and lots else	gary67 (56)
