I put a pile of leaves on the bottom, some fresh sheep manure on top of that, some not quite ready compost, a pile of comfrey leaves, a little more compost and some topsoil. The bath was full. I planted too many eggplants in there - 5 - but it was the best crop I've ever had. I used sawdust/wood shavings as a mulch. Over winter the soil level has dropped to half full but the bath is now home to two healthy broccoli and two healthy cabbage plants. It seems to have worked.

Put some Blitzen down and tried a mite spray - any other ideas?

I’m up north so fulling the garden with winter veg and here is my list. For roasting potatoes, multi colour carrots, radishes.( yip radishes roast well) broadbeans, cauliflower broccoli in different colours, 3 types of dwarf beans, silverbeet, beetroot, orange carrots, lettuce, basil, coriander, parsley, spring onions, leeks, onions. 

Harvesting now pumpkin’s, beetroot, beans, egg plants, capsicum, lettuce, spring onions actually this is a long list but a star this year that I am saving the seed from was heirloom popcorn. Bought 5 seeds for $1 each. Way expensive but they are the popped round type, anyway. I got a good crop off them and saved 2 cobs for a large bed next year. Found a killer healthy recipe the family love. Olive oil, fenugreek seeds, ground chilli, nutritional yeast. And how to cook without burning. Heat oil and ingredients and drop in 3 seeds. When they pop tale off heat and put in rest of popcorn seed and they all pop together and no burns 👍
