We have club root on our plot and we have managed to grow fabulous broccoli by starting them in the PT and growing to a strong plant before planting out in a large hole filled with garden compost and a shake of lime. We have been growing them like this for three years and have had real success. We ...

Hedgehogs suffer from Lungworm which is spread by slugs and snails and can transfer to dogs and cats if they sniff at affected creatures which is wh...

Re: Late for hedgehogs?

If you are seeing the hedgehog out during the daytime it is likely to be having problems and if you can I would take it to a wildlife sanctuary or contact the RSPCA.

Re: I've been hacked!

We have had the opposite with our credit card company. Twice they have stopped our cards as they have noticed suspected fraudulent activity. Each time they have rung us to tell us that we can't use cards until they are reissued but won't say what activities they have noted.
