Hi Maxi,I'd go with all the obvious suggestion here of contacting the landscapers. Sometimes turf just doesn't take very well on the soil it was...
Lots of help, thanks Dalbuie [img]I think my chillis are cayenne, so I'll hope for some red ones - if that's what happens to the peppers...
Sorry to start a new thread on this but I wasn't sure if it would get seen on the existing one ;)My peppers and chillis are coming on quite...
Hi Lucy,You're right, you will struggle to grow turf under established trees, both because of the shade and because trees are estimated to use...
Thanks Pete - I'll hit the garden centre today :(
Mine are only just starting to flower, but there are plenty of them. A problem I do have is that some of them are pretty well covered in greenfly...
Hi Jay,jpb is right, you definitely don't want to go rolling the lawn in damp weather - all you'll do is is compact the soil, made worse by the...
If there's a Basil category I'm definitely going for it - out of my 60 or so remaining, one of them has to be a prize winner. Surely? ;) [...

:D No, I'm just one of those irresponsible people who sows a whole pack of seeds instead of being sensible and holding some back - although we do...
It's a bit hard to tell from that photo - I don't suppose you have any close ups do you?This is a picture of the Red Thread that I mentioned -...
Hi Gary,If you look in the Members Gallery section, you'll see how to post pics. I wouldn't advise laying turf on a bed of sand, but if you used...
Bio control is a bit of a pet interest of mine, not so much in localised situations, but in large scale pest eradication. This link gives some...
Yup, Osmocote is controlled release Pete, but I've never used the stuff before, as I only get involved in the turf side of things - so I don't...
If the voting can be done I think that's a great idea. Must admit I wouldn't have anything to contribute - all of my veggies are looking...
Not too late - it's Friday after all ;)I forgot to add that most slow release and controlled release fertilisers also have a "quick start...
If it turns out to be caused by your own dog, you could try mixing a spoonful of tomato juice in with its food - this apparently neutralises the...
