Day out in Cambridge, so I took Kat out for Raspberry Pi

Then we went to the library across from the Pi shop to explore some of the literary greats.

It's a great space to sit and chill, literally rent-free.

I'm not convinced that the author of this #Allotmemt Gardening for Dummies book is convinced by no-dig growing. This being the entirety of the book's content on the subject. The approach to potatoes on the subject is both weirdly specific and somewhat dubious.

Dodgy dummy allotment books aside, a proper physical #library is increasingly worth its weight in gold in terms of material of a passable quality and provenance without the increasingly AI-fuelled chaos dross filling up the World Wide Web. I think we need to spend more time at libraries, this book alone makes the visit worthwhile. Also flicked through the shore fishing section of a fishing book.

Have borrowed the Raku book. It's mad: you can just walk into a library and take away good books.

@yvan “can’t face the hard graft” and in the next paragraph says how much work it is. Sounds like they need to talk to a permaculturist about what it actually means (you can dig holes to plant things!)

@aegir not really selling the idea is he... "you need 12.5 cubic metres of compost" (and implying this is every year) 🙃

Also it's a very a dumb calculation... the author has just done 250m² x 5cm = 12.5m3 as if the whole plot is a bed with no paths. 🤦🏻
