    I agree it is a very strong flavour and not very palatable to my way of thinking either!

      Thanks for the offer Kristen but I'm sure it would die, I don't think they like alkaline soil.

      RHS site says any pH soil ...

      Its going in the bin @JWK, so if you want to try it that at least gives it two chances :)

        Our soil is quite alkaline as well as sandy

        Yes, I'd agree with Kristen to give it a go, keep an eye on it though just in case it decides to like your hospitality too much.

          OK Thanks, I will give it a try, it would be a shame to bin it. Can you look after it for me until the next meet up?
