    Interesting that she plants snowdrops individually - I've always split clumps into smaller clumps. This year I'll do it her way.

    She did them individually on GW one spring and was much mocked.   I do mine in groups of 5 and it works for me but then I'm slowly building up my population and following a "safety in numbers" principle.  Haven't seen any growing anywhere else here so I'm being careful with them after bringing them from my Belgian garden.

    Yes, I started with just a few precious ones so I don't split them all every year, just whichever two or three clumps look biggest. However, I trust Carol more than anyone else when it comes to propagation, so I might just pick one clump and do them individually this year to see how it goes.

    Tonight 8pm channel 4. The Great Garden Revolution. 1/4
    Tonight, "the focus is on tips and hacks to create gardens for the whole family to enjoy."
    Maybe worth watching.

    Thought one of the presenters, Poppy Okotcha, seemed familiar. She is the "houseboat lady" that appeared on Gardeners' World.

    not that I know anything of such parlance, but how does a "tip" differ from a "hack"?

    Isn't a tip a timely reminder on how and when to do things whereas a hack is the same thing but cutting corners?
