Why bother? Taste minging!

I've grown peppers which great results.

becuase its fun to watch things grow, im going to that shop next week now tho lol

[SimonTW]

I bought a kit. Waited weeks and got one tiny mushroom out of it!

[mowgli]

have you ever watched a mushroom grow???? you'd need to have a really shyte tv package to find that interesting, as they only grow at night.. don't be fooled by that pic, if you stuck that

bag of shyte

on a box in the middle your garden, nothing would grow...

it would need to be in some wet shaded spot.

[turbojolt]

the shed in my garden has no felt on the roof, its more moist then something i cant mention with out receving a infraction :O

[Edd]

Yeah we've had two 3 kits, got them in the sale at B + Q, dont bother imo

Much easier things to grow, they are loads of hassle to do

As Mowgli said no point for £3 worth of mushrooms

[turbojolt]

but i really like mushrooms :/ thourght this would be a easy way to get into growing them, will give it a go and see how i get on with it

bought one of them small plastic green houses to do some other little things aswell

[Plug]

Magic mushrooms are easy to grow, I've done them before from 1 pack I got 3 harvests of about 150 mushrooms, was worth it had a nice trip, they quality of the ones grown where much better that what you can pick around here at the right time of the year,

[Spudly]

Get your nova back, pour six inches of water into the carpets in both floorpans, and then chuck in a load of mud and muck, empty your hoover bag into it aswell, and leave it with all the doors shut in the sun for a couple of weeks and you will get shrooms trust me!

I had a leaking battery tray on an old nova which was off the road for a couple of months one summer, when i went back to it there was an army of the horrible sh1t fuelled towers growing under my pedals :eek:

[novadave24]

better going to the shop then waiting for them to grow lol

[16xe_chris]

Buy some cress seeds that stuff grows anywhere with a bit of water

[Iain]

[16xe_chris]

Yep when they rot down, mushrums are only a fungus triggered by the correct humidity lol

[turbojolt]

someones been on wikipedia.

[mowgli]

been thinking about this mushroom growing lark a bit, and they need to be in a damp place with little or no sunlight & plenty of shyte... so actually growing them in derby is probably a good idea. lol lol

lmfao you flapping flunt lol

[16xe_chris]

Nope just done all the relevant qualifications many moons ago, I was in charge of a very large private estate when I was 18 lol

And yes mowgli keep them covered under black bin bags to bring them up :thumb:

[mowgli]

when my phone is fixed, i'll post up the pic of the field mushrooms i had the other week.... one was 11" across.. you could easily have sat a small child on it.


tj, just a word of warning, the shop i mentioned is really small inside, its positively miniscule

[turbojolt]

im still going to go over next time im working that way, got to see what there all about, you bought anything from there before?

[mowgli]

nope, but i know someone who works for them, and i used to deal with them when i was at the tractor dealership.. they are a decent lot...

[turbojolt]

sounds good mate, if its good value in there i will more then likely become a regular, love the idea of buying food from small farm style shops, its like a world away from what i grew up around

[mowgli]

liveseys sell to all the supermarkets, and restaurant trade, they've been at it for decades..

[Angus Closier]

Here are some of the bits I grow, No shrooms here I might add, they get picked out on the farm.

some one is turning a right trick with these, rotten potatos 3 quid for 9 :eek:

http://i475.photobucket.com/albums/rr119/turbojolt/grow%20your%20own/SAM_0425.jpg


we should rename this thread 'home grown corner' or something lol

[Angus Closier]

Hmmm! You got done with those potatoes !!

If you would like a chili plant or two your more than welcome, I need to get rid of a few. (Anyone for that matter) Or would like some chilis on there own.

I have Two types of scotch bonnet, Dorset naga, Naga jolokia and a few others.

Most are extremely hot and are sold/given with a stern warning.

[turbojolt]

the spuds were a gift mate, i wouldnt have bought them i have some in the cupboard that are on the turn lol


wouldnt mind some seeds to grow naga chillis mate, do they need to be in a propper green house? i have a small plastic green house would that be any good?

[turbojolt]

i love seeing how the chillis grow out from a flower, amazing to see

[Angus Closier]

No the don't NEED to be grown in a green house, but a frost will kill them.

The more heat from the sun chilis get the more heat they have !

[Angus Closier]

When a few more different types have ripened I will post you some chillis to try.....

I'll pm you for you address.

[turbojolt]

class mate would love that

[turbojolt]

from nothing but a dam box last night these have arrived :d
