    Hi all, just introducing myself before I start asking the experts. I’ve recently moved from urban central/west Scotland to the beautiful countryside in Ayrshire. I’ve been an enthusiastic gardener (not knowledgeable, just enthusiastic!) for about 12 years, and thought I had a rough idea of what I was doing in my smallish urban garden. Now its’s a new adventure as I have a large, neglected countryside garden. Lovely rich soil compared to the clay I was used to, but so many weeds, and a nasty horsetail problem in the back garden. I have inherited a huge poly tunnel - well to me it’s huge: 20’x10’ compared to my previous 6’x8’ greenhouse. Looking forward to joining like minded enthusiasts.

          Welcome to Gardeners Corner Scotmac. It would help us when answering some questions if we could refer to your location. Could you place it in your avatar box on the left please. County is all we need.

          Enjoy your new home and garden. :)
