NOTES
1) When I first started here I made an arragement with the bosses father to use my own hand tools. Recently it has come to light that when the boss took over this information wasn't passed on to him and he came to me wanting access to the tools. I had to point out that I didn't mind him borrowing them but he needed to know that they were mine and needed to be treated accordingly. He was okay about it and understood my position and asked me to make a list of tools that he did own which is what the inventory was about.
2) Sara Is curious about my choice of plant feed so I took a picture of the bag for you to see for yourselves that its no joke.
COMMENTS FROM THE POTTING SHED
Sara I have no idea who’s blood they use!
EB Ha ha!!
Kimmie That’s all there is left after I fed the rest of them to the plants!!!
The Weaver of Grass Cutting the grass always makes such a difference to the garden. Cutting grass of one sort or another takes about one and a half days out of every week during the growing season.
Jim The grease nipple is just to lubricate a belt tensioner so not something that gets much use, not sure if I can get the rest of the nipple out or not.

Thank you for the photo! Some of us are visual learners.
I was picturing you laying bloody fish carcasses on your garden. Now I understand :)
I can well believe you'd want to use your own tools. I am terribly possessive of my trowel (which cost a fortune) and my secateurs (which didn't but are great). That and my gloves but that's more obviously personal. I was going round Wisley a while back and it felt to strange to be in a garden, however large, without my gloves and boots.
Yes, I use that at this time of year to feed my soft fruit and also underneath the tomato plants when I plant them out. I always wear gloves when I use it and I try not to inhale too deeply either!
