I agree with Victoria. It grows outside, in the ground, no protection down here. Severe winters knock it back but it's very root hardy and comes...
I'd be happy to use muck from a dairy farm but I tend to avoid racehorse stables as I think there might be too many 'additives'. If it's just from...
Everybody will want it that way, it's larger than life! I have daughters by the way, that's how I know the songs! Good job Chris, a very rewarding...
It normally has to be an oil based as water based stains or paints just don't get under the surface

Time to get the razor out, love:roflol:
Old compost bags work a charm. Cut a big circle and put it around the plant like a collar. you can mulch on top of that for asth...aths...looks!...
I use homemade compost, miracle grow, pelleted chicken manure, epsom salts, iron sulphate, tomorite and anything else I can get my hands on(that's...
