I agree, Victoria. I always thought the fun format last year should have stayed as the flagship programme, then a shorter more lecture-like...
The "light" and "dark" may refer to the thickness of the mulch rather than its colour. You can apply a thin mulch if you just want to enrich the...
I enjoyed last week, but thought it was deadly dull this week. I felt like I was sat in a lecture rather than watching Friday night...
Prunus laurocerasus, the Cherry Laurel. Grows anywhere, sun or shade, in any soil. Fast growing bushy shrub / hedge, low maintainence, cheap,...
Your trees, shrubs and the garage wall will all be sucking moisture out of the soil, especially as it is in full sun. Adding lots of well-rotted...
The mushy toms are probably because either you're growing the wrong variety (for example, I always find 'Moneymaker' a bit 'mushy' personally), or...
I thoroughly clean any pots I'm using for plants that will spend time indoors, for seed sowing etc. Good hygeine at that stage is important I...
I really enjoyed it. But then I also thought the last series was great too. I'd like it to be an hour long, so I can build my Friday around it -...
I disagree. The climate is changing so rapidly due to man's activity that we are already seeing fairly dramatic effects, all over the world, but...
I've definitely seen lots of odd behaviour. It's difficult to sum up - things flowering at increasingly odd times, spring bulbs emerging in...
Probably more to do with climate change. As we warm the world, we get more extreme weather of all kinds - and Britain is probably in for damp...
The first thing to do is decide what plants you want, then you can find out what they will need to grow best. Get some gardening magazines or...
Try a reliable, easy-to-grow variety like 'Gardeners Delight'. You don't need a greenhouse, especially in a sun-trap garden. Growbags aren't...
I completely disagree with Peter S and Boghopper! I always leave my leaves on the borders. It's what nature does, after all, and nature knows...
F1 seeds are the first generation seeds from a cross-breed specially chosen by breeders for certain characteristics. For example they might...
You could grow pretty much anything in a container that size. Even give baby new potatos a try. I wouldn't grow anything that takes up a lot of...
The nutrients in fresh manure are in a form that the plant can't use. It needs to be well rotted first. Also, don't apply too much. If the soil...
Don't forget that raised beds lose nutrients more than open soil. You will need to feed during the growing season and refresh the compost pretty...
The crop should be fine if you follow those planting instructions. I plant my spuds even closer than that because of a lack of space in my garden,...
Cut back, Fletch. If they haven't died after the weather we've had so far, they will be fine from now on. If you feel uneasy about anything, give...
