Day 5 of My Garden Challenge!

Now the work really begins…

Ok I confess – today is more of a project than a garden ‘job’.

Someone had told me in the comments section of my YouTube channel, that turkey-tail mushrooms were thought to have amazing anti-cancer properties. But where to get some? Well, as it happens, you could just buy some, or, you could go traipsing through the woods for an appropriate log and try to grow your own. Guess which one I went for?

Yes, the grow your own option, of course.

I ordered some ‘plugs’ and it seemed a simple case of drilling holes in my log and plugging the gaps which were then to be sealed with wax. If I had a decent drill, it might be a simple job. As it turned out, it was anything but a simple job for me and my baby drill.
