If you did dream it, you might have been reading the same horticultural science book as me before you went to sleep. It says that commercial fruit grows (not specifically strawbs, just fruit in general) turn on the mist when sub zero temperatures are forecast. Water is remarkably good at storing...

All done and joined in another too.. Thank you

I like the idea of a path along the hedge (if I have understood correctly?) as that takes up the area of "dead growing space" in front of the hedge. Makes the hedge easy to cut to - and forces it tog et done when you get to that point in the year when you can't get down the path any more!

Had to go to Tescos. I thought I'd have a look at the magazines while there.I found one called 'Kitchen Garden' for £4.95, which comes with 10 packets of herb seeds, which I think is not bad. But also you can get 24 strawberry plants for nothing except the £4.05 P&P. I think that's not such a...

Nick, that's very kind of you indeed. I'll pm you now.Steve...

Have a look at that, GG. The arbutus I grow here suffer from leaf-spot disease. I now spray them regularly with a variety of fungicides which does seem to help. As your tree is otherwise so healthy, I'd chop out the affected branches...given an ericaceous feed and a good soak, you'll be amazed...

thanks. i will do that then!

It won't be on the entire garden, just the mass of pots and planters I have.

Hmm, will have to get me thinking head on. Don't have much to protect thankfully.

Put it into your search engine I am sure loads of alternatives will pop up.

Well some help when needed anyway.. I bet your grandson enjoyed the bus rides as well.. I have to say though I agree with you about the Yew tree... Good luck..

OK sorry I have found it now!!, When I click on General Gardening Discussion I then have another option at top of page like this: Forums General Gardening Discussions Gardening Discussions Why aren't these posts just in General Gardening discussions, why is there another one just called...

That paw print looks like it's from a dog

Could be foxes or rats.I had a similar thing a while ago, which I was convinced was a fox until I caught my dog digging. My neighbour has concrete under his side so the hole never went right through.However, last weekend my neighbour said that he had found a hole his side where the rats had...

I'd go for a variety that has been around for a while, and thus has stood the test of time. Perhaps something that has a reputation for dividing quite quickly too?

Ours has pulled through the bad winters with no adverse effect

Multi purpose. I assumed I could use it for potting on my seedlings once I pricked them out. To be fair most of the seedlings have taken fine.I realised this morning that since last year a large leylandi was cut down and I do wonder now if the now direct morning sunrise is now scorching the...

Thank you @HarryS and @Madahhlia .

Hi gang, last autumn I sowed onion sets for the first time as opposed to spring planting. Anyone have any idea about when I can expect to harvest them as I'd ideally like to pop in my purple sprouting into the spot they occupySent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk
