How’s life in the fens? Tell me its great….and that there is room for a few neighbours! we’ve been house hunting lately and there are some beautiful spots out there. We might just be dragging down your property prices shortly!
Hugh & Fiona
High Hugh, Hope you are both keeping well. Wow, it would be great to have you as a neighbour! best wishes. Kevin
Hi Kevin.
A dam fine site. Keep it up.
Hi,
I have a strange request for you…
I breed predatory bugs for use in greenhouse crops.
The idea is you use natural predators instead of pesticides – GREAT!!.
The predators I breed are mites that eat thrips and whitefly and are found naturally; I just give nature a helping hand by releasing more than would naturally get into the crop from outside.
I use reedmace pollen to produce the mites but my source in Australia (Cumbhunghi pollen) has dried up.
Would it be possible to buy some reedmace (Typha) pollen from you or any of your mates?
I’m after about a litre of the stuff but any would be gratefully recieved.
Maybe you can send me an email: simon1foster@btinternet.com
Thanks (I told you it was a strange request…)
Simon
P.S. What a lovely site this is.
Hi Simon, I live in Swedish Lapland now and I’m afraid Typha does not grow here and in the UK the Typha will have finished flowering now I’m afraid.
