Thanks @AnniD and The huge Ali baba pots are at least 3 ft tall and both are perfect. There are similar pots not as big for sale on the net for over £300each! I certainly will not sell those for less than £150 for the pair, they are beautiful and definitely not Morrisons cheapos! If I don’t...

That’s what I do @Michael Hewett, it’s a gardening technique known as pace yourself . In previous years I used to cut all my ornamental grasses down at the end of February. Quite a task as I have many. Now I cut them periodically from December onwards as individual varieties show signs of wear...

Most lawn weed killers also contain an inhibitor to prevent seed germination for a period of up to six weeks so you won’t find an effective combination product. After applying your chosen weed killer, wait until the time period indicated in the instructions for your weed killer before sowing any...

There's no need to concern yourself about the colour of the light for early growth. The different colour lights are for growing indoors to raise the plants to maturity with an emphasis on the red/orange/yellow part of the spectrum for flowering plants and more towards the daylight/blue for the...

Maybe I'm mixing them up - I used to grow lots of different primroses

Hawthorn, sloe, elder all take well from cuttings if you want to fill gaps. Stick prunings in the ground in autumn. Also consider hazel, bird cherry, guelder rose and wayfaring tree. Consider drip irrigation or a leaky hose along the base of the hedge and use regularly. If you search for...

Hello allI Hope you are Well.Well, my least favourite Job for March is Complete, More or Less.Cleaning the Water Feature in the Back Garden, which involves Removing the Stones, Cleaning the Mesh that is on the Top which Stops the majority of Waste from falling into the Reservoir,...

I've had it come up from bird seed mixes.

A concrete patch will add no stength to the post, so you could just use some exterior masonry paint ( £3 sample pots) to seal it from the elements, though give it a good brush clean to remove the algae first.Perhaps find an evergreen plant to cover the repair, paint or concrete as neither...

Unexplored deep-water worlds in Caribbean revealed for the first time

Squirrels do this constantly with my smaller pots, they bury stuff in them and come back to dig it up later. The plant being small makes it easy collateral damage. If the camera isn't triggering it's probably something light enough not to set off the sensor. A bit of chicken wire flat over the...

I saw a Red Robin tree for sale this morning and it was £50! I think that's a bit pricey. And it was no more than 6ft high.

Stellantis have said they are going back to producing some diesel engine cars!

Ego LM1903E-SP. I also added a rear roller which I haven't tried yet (laziness!). It's a superb machine and light as a feather, certainly compared to the old Honda I had before, and it folds up quickly so storage is great too. No issue with the battery but it's only been a year. I will say that...

Pleased to hear it.

You’ll need to amend the bumpy areas if you want to avoid damaging the mower or scalping the lawn. I had a corded mower at my last property and managed with it on a 100 ft lawn without getting entangled, you just need to arrange the cable at a distance as you work.The Spear and Jackson model...

That's right, I have them in my garden, they come in from the hedgerows. I leave them in odd corners because they're pretty and brighten the place up, but I get rid of lots too.
