    Hello to you all!

    This is my first forum post with GC so i hope to recieve an array of decent / friendly replies :)

    As the title suggests i am planning to grow some tobacco, really just for the sake of growing it. Does anybody have any experience in growing it themselves?

    Key things i need help with:


    • Type of soil to plant in
    • How often to water
    • Anti pesticides to use (?)
    • Planter/Tubs to grow in?
    • Wind breakers needed etc
    Thanks in advance!
    Carl

    Can small courgettes which have stopped growing and are slightly soft be eaten?
