    Suggestions for the Christmas present from hell as far as I’m concerned

    Only just seen this , at first I thought the top was flat and it was a potting bench with a compost container underneath, but then I realised that wouldn't have been so bad. A friend of my wife...

    Latest moan from you and me 2026

    Just had a reminder from DVLA to tax my car - all of £20 a year because it's been exempt before as a low emission car. It must cost them more than that for the collection, what a waste of money.

    Fruit Cages - can anyone please suggest a well made, robust cage?

    I have a wooden cage as described for my cabbage etc, plus a metal frame one from Knowle nets but if I was buying now I would go for Harrod though they are not cheap.

    Heh, no. They're (supposedly) single use/biodegradable non woven seedling bags. I just keep washing and re-using them.
