    Automatic watering system

    Thanks all, i've calmed down a bit about this now. I think i'll do the mulching unless we're having a real scorcher of a summer (not holding my breath for that!).

    While it is a pain if it gets out of hand, the blackbirds are having a field day eating the berries at the moment.

    my broom plant is dying. Why?

    I've got a large Broom in a planter which has been there for years. It's been potted on a couple of times. They're tough plants but don't like too much water. How often have you been watering it?

    I would go for the gravel for the first 200mm, that should get the cost down a bit.
