The Guardian had an interesting article yesterday, I just hope they are wrong!!...
My sweetcorn, runner beans, courgettes, marrows and cucumbers all get planted straight outdoors as seed and except for last year have done ok.
I used to use Growmore but I find BF&B easier to spread round plants or add to the soil round the planting hole for new shrubs before I back fill...
