In terms of barrel planters, a lot of it is subjective and personal choice. I’m avoiding buying new plastic where I can (I’m not militant about...
Wondering if anyone else has one of these? We have had one for a few years now and it seems to be struggling. Having said that it has put on...
I’ve tried and failed to get any fruit the last three years, haven’t bothered this year. They either grow very slowly u til too late is the season...
Thanks for the update @Debs64 , that’s really useful and I think I will keep an eye out for some next year
@Pete8, what will you do with the contents if you’re not planning to use them?

If it poisons slugs, I must surely also poison or at least make ill anything that eats the poisoned slug.It’s also indiscriminate in that you...
I would probably trust the RHS rather than the GW site. As said growing conditions will affect size but also genetics especially where plants are...
Just ordered some
Thanks @Jess91 , think I might treat myself to a pot now rather than wait :)
I lift them, soil and all, and dump them into some old large plastic tubs behind the greenhouse. In the Autumn, I rummage through and any large,...
Has anyone grown this one? I believe it’s more tolerant of richer, dampers oils so keen to try it out. One article I read said it was better to...
