Thanks I'll take heed.

Well it's like being a doctor, we have to learn all the science but our consultations are longer (half an hour to an hour) and at the end of it the patients gets their herbs either in the form of a tea, powder, juice or usually a tincture which is a super strong concentration of 1 or more herbs...

I now have two and wish i had kept the other one. The first one is now full and the second one is already on it's way. It's amazing how much grass cutting i get from two lawns.

I would stress that nutients must be low in concentration. For plants to take in nutrients in through the cell walls of the roots then the solution inside the plant needs to be less dilute in salts than the soil moisture. If that is the case then soil moisture will pass through the cell wall...

I tried it and it didn't work. I've also tried the lemon and the garlic scented ones and pepper spray. My lawn is currently netted over while new seed grows, including some clover which is supposed to resist being weed on, and my bed is covered in cocktail sticks which has helped a bit. Would...

Must admit my garden just isn't suited to any type of ball game. I do frequently find the odd tennis ball lost by neighbours kids. I find that piersing a small hole in them and placing them on the tops of canes prevents loss of an eye when bending down to do a bit of weeding. That is if they...

WWW.jungleseeds.co.uk You have to grow at the right temperatures, like palms some germinate quite quickly others can take upto 18 months.

Whilst I agree with you that these days it is an extrodinary length of time to wait and am still waiting for mine too...they do point out the length of time you will wait when you order and as I got my bokashi bins (2 bins plus 2 bags of bran) for �£23 through them rather than around �£60...

I quite regularly harvest a small crop of spuds from the compost heap no problem. Now I just have composters, I'll let you know what happens! John

Hi, I read here:http://www.recyclenow.com/home_composting/useful_info/advanced.htmlthat the cause can be that the compost is too dry, not hot enough or has kitchen s****s ( :eek: that is not a swear word, just a word that means bits of left over food!!) close to the surface...having...

hi grassclipper, i soak my rhubarb leaves first in a bucket of water, i leave it in to brew for 3-4 wks than use the resultant liquid as a spray for greenfly, lillies, brassicas and anything else that gets probs, mainly ornamental plants, but definately not on soft fruit etc. Then i compost the...

Moss is not a normal plant. Some years ago a trial was carried out, putting moss which had been thoroughly dried into a tin and sealing it. It was taken out after a few years, placed on a saucer and watered. It came back to green within a very short time. Moss which is in peat has been killed by...

I wouldn't have thought tomato blight likely as the plants are inside. Symptoms of blight would be stunted plants and yellowing. I usually sow tomatos singly in small containers so that they have some depth of soil to start with. Take one of yours up and look at the roots, it may be that the...

Found it! Here it is, expensive but can sit anywhere amusing the kids [old and young]: http://www.rolypig.com/index.htm HeHe :D

Thanks Pete I will do that. MEF750

Thanks for your replies: I had made some up last year and due to the initial negative comment I received it remained unused. Now thanks to the overwhelming vote "not to touch with a barge pole" it seems I just wasted my time. At least the neighbours were amused when they saw me and asked what I...
