Re: Tomato Grow bags

Thanks everyone for your replies. We've been away for a few days, so before leaving I gave the increasingly sick looking tomatoes a feed of tomato food + a general purpose food. Thinking I would return home to dead plants, I was very suprised to see they had all perked up. Sort of kill or cure- fort...

Re: Tomato Grow bags

I do hope yours continue to thrive! The plants went gradually yellow, and the side shoots turned upright, very close to the main stem. I planted some straight into the bags and others into ring pots on top of the bags. Those planted into the bags died first, the ones in the ring pots thrived but now...

Long grtow cloches

I've just ordered a replacement panel from Two Wests, total cost £9.46! I will certainly try the bended sheet + metal hoops idea in future. I was not impressed with customer service of Two Wests- these things are alledgedly guaranteed for a year- but obviously not in practice.

Mine were difficult to assemble- 1 in particular even defied the additional strength of husband!The ends fall out/off and one of the panels came adrift this winter and has cracked on being re-fitted. I would not buy again or receommend them. I have now contacted the supplier Two Wests + elliot who t...
