Hi AllI bought some Mo Bactor Instant to deal with a considerable amount of moss in my garden.Before I get around to applying it (probably later this year) I am now wondering is it actually any good and would I be better using something else?Thanks in advance for your sage advice!

Hi EveryoneGardening novice here. Having bought a house with a mature garden I need advice on removing moss, removing ivy and improving (or re-creating) a lawn, amongst other things. All of which I will post on the relevant forums and will be very grateful for your advice.

@pete have you tried those companies who sell bulk bags? I saw one of those cubic metre bags outside a house near here, and the compost looked good. Got to be cheaper than buying 60l a time.

Do not do this!

I can't remember the exact name of the yellow variegated one I had - it was no taller than about a metre, so probably one of the cookianum hybrids, not tenax which is the huge one. Called something like Maori Sunrise? I took it out because it was becoming a huge clump and then weeds would grow...

If Charles does go ahead with his visit to the US, I sincerely hope he makes it clear that it is a personal visit (and will be paying for it out of his own pocket ) as opposed to on behalf of the UK.I quite agree but does a day pass without accusations of anti semitism being made against...

Hi @potted I'm afraid those pictures are totally false. The hostas are going to be green (or glaucous) with maybe white variegation. A lot of online sellers do this. As for the other plants you've bought, wisteria is a big climbing plant that develops a trunk eventually. It's not suitable for a...

Hello all, seeking some advice please. I've been told this is a corkscrew willow. Is it meant to look like this at this time of year - i.e. no buds, not much going on?

And where do you plug that in?I've got a combination microwave which has a grill setting but never used that setting, just bung cheese on toast under the gas grill on the cooker. I'm surprised people actually clean stuff that gets up to nuclear temperatures every time you use them.

Hello, does anyone know what this lovely tree is? The plant ID apps are giving me 10 different answers.We've just moved it. I'm really hoping it survives!

We're in Ile de France, so quite far North. The soil in our garden has many earthworms in it - I'm hoping that's a good sign!

It survives around here is all I can say, dont have it myself but have seen it in gardens.

Don't forget to water them in and they will need watering over the summer.
