Morning guys
. The rains haven't arrived yet so I have been scouting the garden and both the gooseberry and some of the rose bushes have been stripped. Should I be looking to treat the soil now somehow so that it doesn't continue next year. What with the flowers being taken by something (poss deer) and the rest stripped by other critters I have an abundance of sticks growing in the garden

I am glad you said that Verdun, about the Agastache, I am changing almost all of the plants in my garden next year and have 100 agastache plants so far, hopefully the Salvias won't get rabbit eaten either.
I bought SB plant invigorator recently, supposed to kill all pests, it wasn't bad on the greenfly but you have to keep at it on the white fly. I wonder if that would do for the saw fly, (is it those that get your Solomons Seal)?
I don't think they rated it much on Beechgrove last week, Sue very quickly glossed over it.
Thanks Verdun
do you know the name of winter tar wash alternative ? I've just had a peek at neem oil uses but will have to settle down and have a good read later cos there seem to be so many . Never had agastache but will have a look for them . Won't be doing much outside today now the rains teeming .
Can organise the drainage and poor soil but sun
well two out of three s not bad . I don't know if I'll top your 100 Lyn but will see how many I get .
Would be grateful for some names but I'll go with the need oil will get no. 1 son to look on line for the best deal
