Green Manure is found sometimes in your local Garden Centre thats where i found it last year. I have found lots of slugs with eggs this year i put them in a bin then take them all to the tip when i have loads.
I bought a Lupin Tree at a summer fete, Can anyone advise me hoe to look after this plant. is it winter hardy, does it need sun or shade and does it need to be cut down for the winter
Mary, your tree lupin was a good buy as it will add nitrogen to your soil. It likes a sunny position and grit added to the soil if your soil is heavy. It is winter hardy and I should not cut it back this year but you can after it flowers next year and it will give you a second flush of flowers.
I noticed a significant drop in slug activity. I found out why yesterday while faffing about in the garden I found a gigantic toad under my rhubarb. The previous day I found the biggest frog I've ever seen. I guess the new pond is paying dividends.

Glad I did.
Earwigs - put a little washing up liquid in water in a spray bottle and squirt it at them whenever you see them. Works a treat!
