Thanks for this comprehensive reply and guidance. I'm very grateful.
Thanks. Good to know.
Hi. Interested to see you've been pruning apples and pear trees. I was under the impression that apples and pears should only be pruned in winter...
Thanks. All good advice, which is much appreciated. I did take the top off the tree about 2.5 years ago, but the uppermost branches did a 90° turn...
Thanks Pete. That's the reassurance I needed!
This is a wider picture of the tree. It[ATTACH]
I'll attempt to attach a picture. (Still learning how to do this!). When the bark falls away, there's a smooth patch that is very light green and...
I have a eucalyptus tree which is 6 years old and about 25ft high, mostly on a single trunk. The tree looks healthy enough and leaves are all ok...
Thanks. I've looked at the height issue and it's ok for me, and that's the important bit!! Regards putting my head through the glass, I've got...

Thanks. I've already got a water butt collecting rain from the garage roof which is only about 15 ft away, so I'm not bothering with another one...

I plan to make a net screen to fit the doorway so that the door can stay open too whilst keeping birds (and neighbouring cats) out.
Thanks. I was concerned about a strong wind forcing it up, but it will have an auto opener which should prevent that. I've also got a Louvre panel...
I'm constructing a new greenhouse which will face east (door end). The prevailing wind comes from the southwest. Should I put the fanlight on the...
I anticipate mine will also be full in the winter. I'm planning on getting a tubular heater, just to keep the frost out. Any recommendations?
I was told that no matter how big a greenhouse you buy, you'll always want a bigger one. I'm sure this will be true for me too
8x6 and I don't intend having chairs and tables, when I've got the staging in (not arrived yet) and made room for late planting of some salad...
