Diary of a weekend gardener

Up in smoke

At the end of the garden is my trusty polytunnel, smoke seeping out of its seams. It's had its winter clean up today - sprayed with Citrox disinfectant, scrubbed and hosed down. I've also taken off the top two inches or so of soil from the borders, to cut down any resident pathogens.

Having stripped it bare I lit a sulphur candle inside to kill of any final malevolent material. Bit bothered about the ground spiders that live in it - hope they had the sense to scarper before it got going properly.
