Hi Adam, my husband listens to gardeners radio programme on Fridays on the way home. Today they spoke of 'granulated sheep's wool' to put around hosta's to protect them from slugs and snails..where do you get such things? Lesley
Hi Adam, the hedge that runs down the side of my garden (approx 100ft long) is very sparse. I think it is mainly old privet covered in thick stemmed ivy. Is it possible to renovate the privet by removing the ivy and hard pruning to thicken it up . I don't want to kill the privet completely.
My husband bought an Apricot tree online. It began to ooze red resin from every branch and tree, so we dug it up and threw it away in the bin. We hoped that an established Almond tree next to it would not be affected. But I see this year it does have a couple of small red oozing patches from a couple of side branches. Is there any way we can save this tree. Do I need to cut off the branches or buy a cure. There is tree bark at the base in this area Should we have cleared this away, might it have. spread the disease.The almond tree has been there 5 years, and is very prolific. Thanks for reading. Janet
I produce my own compost, in a compost heap and in a wormery. When I used it this year it contained seeds from previous years which started to grow with my new seeds. How do I make sure my compost is 'clean'?
Do you know how long I should leave an area before growing veg that had been used as a dog run for several years? Only one dog but had been used by my dog for more approx 4 years. Any advice on the matter would be much appreciated. Martin
