Below is the same photo of the same area as this page describes. You will notice that in between the plants there is bare ground. I do not believe that this should be the case since the roots of the plants that are there are receiving no nutrients at this time - a plant continues to grow all the time; above 5 degrees centigrade in the UK it grows above ground, below that temperature the roots grow underground. Either

mulch it 3-4 inches (7.5-10 cms) thick with organic material like mown autumn leaves and grass from the lawns, or
put down a green manure in the autumn to last throughout the winter as shown in West Border Section 6 Part 53 or

section4part46winter

carry out a version of what Riverford Organic Farms do:-

On the back of the recipe leaflet from Riverford Organic Farms of Monday 4th March 2013 was the following - "

More than you needed to know about muck.

The winters of my childhood were dominated by muck. 200 cows produce a lot of it and the dung pit always seemed to be spilling out into the yard, making shifting it a constant challenge.

If you have ventured into the countryside recently, you might have noticed the smell. With the soil dryer than it has been for 11 months, it is the ideal time for spreading manure. Some fling it, some dribble it, some inject it straight into the soil. The prevailing problem is that the stuff is producd from housed cattle in the winter, when the ground is normally too wet to spread it, and the dormant soil and crops cannot absorb it.

My innovative father would send it gushing down a trench, which followed the contour around the hill, to where his welly-clad children would create dams and breaches to allow it to trickle down the slope to feed the pasture. The latest development in muck technology is the umbilical pipe: slurry is pumped from the yards down - up to a mile of snaking pipe - to a tractor fitted with low ground pressure tyres and a dribble bar. This zig-zags around the farm, spreading it evenly without the damage caused to the soil by huge tankers and spreaders - a massive improvement.

Cheap synthetic fertiliser can lead conventional farmers to view muck as something to get rid of, as cheaply as possible. Too much of it ended up polluting rivers, though farmers have cleaned up their act and this is now very rare. Organic farmers have always prized their muck. Recycling nutrients back into the soil, matching availability to crop root absorption with a minimum of loss to leaching or the atmosphere, is vital to our success. It's a bit stinky sometimes, but we would be lost without it."

If an umbilical pipe system is laid under the hedges from where the slurry is made, then the respective beds can be dribbled from it. If the slurry is made on top of Battlestone Hill, then gravity as well as the pump could be used to move the slurry through the pipework after the visitors have left. This pipework could also extend to the river so that the river water could be pumped through afterwards to flush out the residue during the night. Manure from cows, pigs or horses could be turned into a slurry with the cycle of manure from cows in year 1, pigs in year 2 and horses in year 3.

Every 7 years the beds could have the following done:-

On the back of the recipe leaflet from Riverford Organic Farms of Monday 11th March 2013 was the following - "

After 2 or 3 crops of vegetables our fields get tired and it is time to rest them from cultivating and harvesting and to put back what we have taken out. We build fertility and structure with 3 or 4 years of grass and clover which are grazed, cut and conserved as silage, or sometimes mulched to feed the soil. This week we have been sowing triticale (a hardy vigorous cross between rye and wheat) as a nurse crop. In early April, when the triticale has established, we will broadcast the grass and clover seeds and very lightly scratch the surface with a tine harrow to cover the seed and allow germination. The grass and clover does well in the partial shade under the triticale until the whole crop is taken as silage in July to feed the cows next winter. With the shade and competition removed, the perennial grass and clover take over, fixing nitrogen from the atmosphere, building fertility and feeding the cows and the soil until we plough it down to grow vegetables again."

If the beds are made wide enough and together with the intervening lawn/paths are a multiple of the tractor and its following equipment, then the above system could be used before the Mixed Border beds, lawn and paths are re-instated after 3 years. The grass seed and clover mixture might be replaced by a grass seed, clover and wildflower mixture to create a suitable area for the butterflies and bees. The majority of the permanent plants in those Mixed Borders are currently Herbaceous Perrennials, which could be moved to other beds in January/February. A meandering path in this lawn could be created during the Spring through using a wide pedestrian mower to allow access to the other garden areas leading from it. This would also create a garden with areas that change rather than remain static - thus leading to visitors coming back each year.

Solution to Unemployment in Britain:-

"The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in Auckland, New Zealand, have taught 3 rescue dogs to drive in an effort to encourage people to adopt and love shelter pets."

Besides the trained dogs who aid Blind People in walking, these other dogs could be trained to drive in Britain. Then, when a Blind person wishes to be driven, an unemployed person could earn their benefit by being in the front passenger seat giving directions to the dog who is doing the driving, but not to the dog who is sitting in the back seat alongside the Blind passenger.

The Blind person gets social interaction and the unemployed person - in aiding this blind person to go further than that person can walk for shopping or to visit friends - increases their self-esteem and self-worth.

The cars are maintained and operated with the dog driver during 8 hours each week by these unemployed. The running costs, cars and car parts are paid for by the local Government Employment Department.
