Sinopsis

'If the Waverley sank right now and I wanted to swim to the nearest land, how far would that be?' 'About a hundred yards, sur.' 'Amazing. Which way?' 'Down!'

True 'Glesca' humour and history combined, Kerryoans up the Clyde! recounts the adventures of a vessel full of character with a captain to match: Morrison's Waverley and 'Big Lizzie' are each as formidable and inalienably Scottish as the other.

Morrison captures the charmingly unique spirit of the last of the Clyde's paddle steamers as well as the facts of its history. Full of playful tales, many a chuckle and the quirky illustrations of Bob Dewar, you're sure to find something that floats your boat!

    Raised Bed Revolution -...

    In recent years, raised bed gardening has gained immense popularity among gardeners of all experience levels, offering a simple yet effective solution to maximize gardening space. Whether you have a sprawling backyard or a small urban patio, raised beds are an ideal way to grow more in less space. This gardening method takes traditional gardening techniques and amplifies their benefits, creating an accessible and highly productive growing environment. 
    Raised beds are essentially framed plots of soil that are raised above the surrounding ground level. This simple yet innovative design promotes better drainage, reduces soil compaction, and enhances root health, making it an excellent choice for growing a wide range of plants. The elevated nature of the beds allows for easier access, especially for individuals with limited mobility or those who prefer to garden without bending down constantly. Additionally, raised beds warm up faster in the spring and dry out more quickly, extending the growing season and allowing for earlier planting. 
    One of the primary advantages of raised bed gardening is the ability to control the soil quality. Traditional garden beds can be plagued by poor soil conditions, compacted earth, or heavy clay that inhibits root growth. With raised beds, gardeners have the opportunity to create the perfect soil mix, tailored to the needs of the plants they wish to grow. By selecting high-quality soil and incorporating organic amendments such as compost, gardeners can ensure that their crops receive optimal nutrition and thrive throughout the growing season. 
    Moreover, raised beds are a great way to promote efficient water usage. With a well-designed watering system, water can be directed straight to the roots, reducing water waste and keeping plants hydrated without over-saturating the soil.
