Yes Aster, wondered why they tend to go over the same parts of the garden so much. Have noticed today in the new Gardeners W magazine (happy 25th GW???) that there is a feature on MD's garden showing the layout. Thanks Monty we can envisage the different plots when we watch now. Maybe longer and wider shots are difficult to do in sectionalised gardens with hedging. Lets hope there will be different projects this year and handsome though monty and his furry assistant are maybe more close ups of plants!
I think there a time and a place for chemicals. Like next doors creeping buttercups creeping into my garden or lawnweed killing, persistent aphids get proper stuff after multiple times trying with fairy liquid and squashing them.
Hosta right about the ground elder along with some other weeds, I was working for someone who were adamant they dug out Japanese knot weed with a excavator. I told they haven't dug it out at all and possibly made it worse. It soon come back with vengeance, it was everywhere in between the newly planted laurel hedge they planted, the laurel hedge alone cost over £1000 . Finally managed to slowly destroy it with chemicals
My neighbour has bamboo growing right next to fence. It is a nightmare. I have to go along a long way along to get the blighter out, the roots are incredibly strong. I have been so tempted for the first time to use a chemical on the roots. Am fighting the urge to poison so perhaps a flame thrower would sort it!

BEL, is the feature on Montys garden in the March edition of the magazine? I looked in the February issue in the shop today but didn't see it.
