I have never seen one before. On a broad bean leaf, sinking its beastly proboscis (I assume) in and sucking the lifeblood of my poor bean,...
I haver had good results except with dwarf french beans, with which only half germinated, the others seemed to have rotted and turned to paste. I...
I have had easy success making my rows of potatoes into a sort of "W" shape in cross-section, rather than into the normal upside-down "V". Water...
Yes, that's the one. Unlike rather cheaper ones (e.g. Aldi, Lidl) I have not detected what I consider to be extraneous material, or nasty niffs...
This season I have been using mainly "Westland Peat Free Multi-Purpose Compost with John Innes", for seeds in pots, which seems pretty good.
A "general" reply: I note that the RHS dn't mention spraying with water to wash off these bugs (Blackfly (Black Bean Aphid)), or using soapy...

Thanks various. Whateveer it is needs to be a flower, possibly annual, bright and breezy, that will be up and going fast, and last until I sell...
I'm not very good at flowers etc. Any suggestions? Soil is pretty poor, "not always in full sun". A long, very narrow border by a driveway, only...
Ah. I suspect it's aerial attack.
Thank you!MK is in deed Milton Keynes, far flung jewel of Buckinghamshire!
Do your nets just go around, or above too?
I've got some rather old pelleted chicken manure, plus some granular Growmore. I have no access this year to rotted manure, compost etc, so I'm...
