Hope no one in the badly flooded areas is struggling. I've always said that water does far more damage than almost anything else, because you...
I agree @Sheal. It always comes down to personal circumstances, the likely amount of viewers - and that often depends on location as much as...
Yes - a soil based mix with some grit or gravel is probably the ideal for daffs. If I have tulips, I use more grit/gravel in the mix, and I keep...
I see you actually have a company that specialises in organic lawn care @James81, so I'm wondering why you're asking for advice!
That spell early in winter 2022/2023 was mainly caused by a spell of very mild weather thoguh autumn, and plants carried on growing. Then temps...
Maybe because one of them will inevitably be malfunctioning half the time @shiney ....
A cloudy, windy start here. The o'night low was technically 1 degree, but that was from before 9pm, as the temps rose to 12 degrees through the...
It does depend on the type of property and the area you're in. Selling where I am just now is easy, but the last house wasn't that simple, due to...
Nothing done outside yesterday due to rain/sleet/snow/hail/ice [in that order!] and wind. Snow's now all gone as we had high temps overnight [more...
I do leave some in pots longer term, but it's harder to keep them going unless they have enough nourishment, and that's why I tend to use a soil...
Yes - topping up with new compost is best done when bulbs are appearing, depending on the timing of that, to tidy/smarten up the pots, or as...
I just hope they aren't successfully breeding here @strongylodon. I'm quite surprised they've managed, as we aren't in a particularly hospitable...
Indeed @pete - it very much depends on the site, the amount, and what will happen later, and also the amount of foot traffic there's likely to be...
We have a neighbour who has just been out clearing the footpath between the two rows of houses @Escarpment . He did this a few years ago, but it...
I just use a liquid tomato feed a few times as they die back. I tend to use a mix of soil and old compost for bulbs [and grit or gravel mixed...
That's what I always think @hailbopp - it's about the prep as much as, or even more than, the plant costs. It's false economy to buy plants...
We used to get siskins quite often in a previous garden, but I've only had them once or twice in this one. They jink in and out of conifers a lot....
It often comes down to experience, and also confidence. If someone asks about what they should do with an acer, and when to prune etc, I'm always...
I prefer raspberries though....
I think you're up here @Donna Crossman if I remember correctly. Dahlias will always struggle if left in the ground, especially in the west, so you...
