Music - what do you like? Elgar, played full volume. Once upon a time this was only possible when alone in the car, then the girls grew up and...
I have to say I sympathise with Melinda, having been there and done that. When my Mum was in hospital exactly the same situation arose, it...
Just as a BTW - what is it with Homebase and Jamie Oliver? I know it's all in the name of product endorsement (as though he needs the money!), but...
No expert me, but in my experience it looks to be just doing what (an older) honeysuckle does - climbing, putting on lots of top growth and...
Recent visits by various offspring, have left my supply of salad leaves sorely depleated, the next lot aren't ready and the subsequent sowing are...
I had a 'clump forming' bamboo - which I bought long before I knew anything about gardening - one of the first things I did learn was, that my...
Two things 'bug' me. Water - in every house I've lived in, from being a small child to now, there have been water 'issues'. In the first the...
I remember my Grandad's greenhouse - huge great thing it was, (20' x 18'), wood and glass sitting atop 4' of brick. It had 5' beds on 3 sides, a...

I'm afraid I let my husband do 'the clever stuff' when he put mine up. I'm told that the best way is to face them north/south, so that they get...
I'm guessing you could try 'Tyreweld' from Halfords et.al.
It did, thanks.
