Very interesting ..I will have a readSpruce

Put it on the current one Thank you

I have said this before on other threads/ forums. There are a numer of moth species whose larvae resemble large tough skinned caterpillars. Instead of eating leaves, they eat, stems and roots, they are collectively known as cutworms. We had an Acer that was attacked, I only realised what it...

With a PH test kit, liquid based universal indicator with barium sulphate. I'm in central Scotland.So it's likely that the exposed soil once grass becomes border will tend towards acid over time? I guess that makes sense.

Should be ok Nov-March

If it is your fence you can tell them to take the lights off the fence and anything else they have attached to your fence on their side. It might start a fence war (I have experience off this) but you would be entitled to do this.

Many thanks

In my previous garden a trellis to hide the back of the shed and bins. If far enough away you would still get the needed light.

Opinions are irrelevant unless they are informed AFAIC.

It's looking good Will.

You just cut back any stems you dont want, so if you just want one stem leave the strongest and remove the smaller ones.I've never found them easy to root from side shoots but they do grow sometimes, probably easier to just buy new plants if you want more.

Thanks @Pete8 I shall set it free tomorrow

Hi, and welcome. Do you know what type of tree it is? I would certainly cut that root off, as close to the tree as possible, and GENTLY but FIRMLY pull as much of the root out as possible.Personally, I wouldn't keep a tree that close to the house, solely because the roots will continue to grow...

It's also normal for the young one to loose a leaf now and then, but make sure it's in the right conditions - bright but not direct burning sun, not too cold, humidity in the air, allow the water to drain through when you water it and discard any excess that collects in the saucer, and allow the...
