In front of our house there's a patch of grass (of the "we dont' know what else to do with this, variety") on a slope. Two straight sides are...
Interesting.Although I'm starting to think the wretched things are now endemic round here - I found out yesterday that a friend 1/2 a mile a...
I'll give it a bit more grace then. Thanks :)
I had a nasty feeling people would say that :(.Any suggestions as to what can be used to deal with the adults other than finding them in...
So, having made the joyful discovery of vine weevil grubs in my flowerbed, I'm assuming the little sods are going to be everywhere. I've bought a...
We've got a little water lily in our pond that still seems to be hibernating. The water temperature is still just under 10 C. It didn't have the...
Paul - you are a complete star! :thku: :D(off to print instructions so I can make a mess later...)
Thanks for all the suggestions :) We went down to our local friendly acquatic store and they suggested a Blagdon 9W UVC. So now we've just got...
Does anyone have any? I found the video's on the Felco site, but I think I need something even more thorough - they only seem to show how to...
I see what you're saying, but I guess I'm hoping that the combination of the biological filters (which should be more than adequate to control the...
Also meant to say that I know I'm probably coming over as very negative about this, but I'm just struggling to see how it could fit into my...

Hmmm. The problem I've got is space - the water level in the pond is raised above ground level, so the only area in which to put land-based leafy...
OK, I'm with you on the chemistry side, but I'm not so clear on the waterflow - are you suggesting sending the water through a filter bed planted...
Sorry, Hex - I'm having a bit of a slow afternoon :o. Please could you be a bit more explicit on what you mean?
Now everything's warming up our pond has turned a beautiful shade of murky green. We've dug out specs, etc, and the pump and filters should be...
That's true, but I think the way the ragwort toxins work means the liver can't regenerate in this instance. I found this that gets a bit techy...
OK - how do I differentiate between iron and magnesium deficiencies? Or does it not matter and I should just treat for both? Are there any...
My understanding was that the toxins damage the liver and that damage is irreversible and cumulative. A horse can survive with a LOT of liver...
Flinty - I feel put to shame! At the moment I'm very much working around the things I think I want to keep and potting up the excess to give away...
