The Wiggly Podcast Wiggly Wigglers

Join Heather for a wander around the farm on a lovely Monday Night. Mavro's up to his old antics, Farmer Phil's mucking out the cows and our cutting patch is blooming away! Our fresh flowers can be ordered from www.greatbritishflorist.co.uk

In this week's ASK WIGGLY, Heather lets you know that it's okay to leave Woodlice in your worm composter - they help compost and work okay with your worms.

ABOUT THE SHOW
At this difficult time we are not allowing visitors onto Lower Blakemere Farm, but don't fret you can still get a peek into life on the Wiggly farm with our New Wiggly Podcast! If you're as sad as we are about The Archers skipping a day, then we've got your Friday fix right here.

Each Friday, join the Gorringes (The Archers of Blakemere) for a new episode - including Heather's wiggly updates, the farming catch-up with Farmer Phil, the return of the (now older) Monty Cast and lots of other interviews!

So run a bath (or whatever you do when you listen to podcasts) settle in and let us invite you for a slice of country life from the heart of Herefordshire.

At one point The Wiggly Podcast was the #1 gardening Podcast on iTunes and even made it onto the homepage - Episode 1-259 is available on our YouTube page here https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEWATYQw9bKMvl0ogBKWh4Q

ASK WIGGLY & FARMER PHIL
If you have a question to ask Farmer Phil or Heather (whether it's about bird food, farming, composting, country life or anything else...) Please leave it at the page below and we will feature it in our new segment ASK WIGGLY/ ASK FARMER PHIL! https://www.wigglywigglers.co.uk/pages/the-new-wiggly-podcast

In this episode join Heather and Phil on their very long (across the yard) commute to work. They discuss Phil's boots before Heather pops into the floristry to chat to the lovely Lydia and Trish about what blooms we currently have in stock. Our fresh flowers can be ordered from www.greatbritishflorist.co.uk

On the way, they see Our new worm superstar, Cookie, who lets you know how many worms he can send each week and chat to Monty who's cleaning out the grain store ready for this year's harvest. Finally Phil and Heather visit Puffin, our young Bull, who's been put into isolation after some amorous adventures to visit the neighbours' cows... Who know cows could jump fences and hedges :)

In this week's ASK WIGGLY, Heather gives advice on how to introduce a new tray to your worm composter.

HELP CHARITIES
Here at Wiggly HQ we are always keen to support wildlife and we know you are as well. Bringing our gardens to life has always been a fundamental principal of what we do – whether that is using worms or micro-organisms to compost our waste or simply feed the birds.
We realised early on we needed to do our bit here to help these situations and so we have pledged our support in two ways:
1: We will give £1 for every order over £30 received during this crisis
2: We will add a box onto our order form where you the customer can add a donation which we can add to the fund.This is going really well and so far we have accumulated over £1000 and so we are ready to give out the first set of grants.

Apologies for the Background noise in the spud shed - please skip to 13:36 if you wish to skip that part.

In this episode, join Heather, Trish and Phil in the packing shed as they pack up potatoes that have been donated for Rotary food parcels by Ian Prior. They discuss the difference between a 'NEW Potato' and the others, how Farmer Phil came to be receiving some money from the Potato man and (just about) the extent of Phil's potato knowledge.

Then Join Heather and Phil in the cattle yard as they chat about the fun and games that our calves like to get up to.... They then delve into the world of manure and then discuss 'Yorkshire Boarding' and how it's used to keep our cattle well ventilated. Lastly, Phil discusses the changes that have been made to the farm since the first inception of the podcast, namely that we have less cattle... and he drops a possible bombshell about the environmental sections of the farm...
