I was wondering whether to be be brutal and take out branches to increase air flow. It's basically a leaf umbrella at the moment.
Dear all (especially @misterQ ) I need help! I attach a picture of my nectarine bought as a "patio tree" in 2019(I think). In the past it hasn't...
I used to have trouble keeping coreopsis going on clay! It obviously likes your conditions.
Wow @CanadianLori ! I guess you and @redstar have it easy by comparison to @John Stern ! Even @hydrogardener probably has worse winters than us....
@John Stern well I for one love to see the difference in conditions for gardeners in other parts of the world. We have other locations here...
Nice tomato @hydrogardener ! I have Purple Cherokee which gives me 1/2 pound fruits. Tbh, I find it difficult to use the bigger ones - a couple of...
I have found that when a section kinks, it's more prone to happening there again. However my experience with connectors is that they catch on...

Thanks @Robert Bowen, @shiney - I'll definitely try the Jeyes fluid as a fairly gentle option. There are a couple of badger sets in my woodland...
Used battery hedge trimmer to cut back big weeds encroaching from behind fence next to stream. It revealed where the badgers have been coming in...
That's an interesting question! As they are mostly solitary, how would they inform the others? It's not like they have lots of sisters like bees...

[ATTACH] A pack of just pink tigridia at local store actually was pink! (The yellow and orange ones are great, but not next to pink alstroemeria.)
I've been using an old Bosch one for a couple of years. It's excellent, and battery lasted longer than I could (on my Ryobi kit, I used battery...
As @misterQ said, but depending on the model, some sprayers have an inner section that you can remove as he said, and sometimes it's the whole...
