My site is just off the Wolverhampton road, at the back of Warley High School, go up Pound road, and turn right into Warwick close. if you want any more information, PM me

I believe Steve Partridge has a lottie in the Stourbridge area, no idea if there are any spare plots though. There are plenty here in the Sandwell area if that's any use.

I agree with Chantal, everyone complained when the BBC took it off, now you want us to complain when they put it back on again! Just set the video and stop moaning so much.

There is an organic slug killer. I've recently bought some and it seems to work, killing slugs and snails but not other wildlife. It's made by "Growing Success" and its called "Advanced Slug Killer" Its about £5 for 750g. Ryton organic gardens use it in their veg garden. They loo...

Thank you for your replies, if you had read my original posting Guest, you would see that it was my brother who wants the hens. He isn't a novice, as it says in the posting he already keeps hens. He is picking up the battery hens at the weekend, it doesn't really matter much to him how many eggs the...

Happy Birthday Johnboy, thanks for your help in the past

My Little Gem have been outside under cut off demi-john bottles for about a month. They havn't grown a lot, but they look healthy enough. They're just starting to move a bit now, with the warmer days.

Thanks to all who have replied, and special thanks to Tehanu, I contacted the website you suggested, got the local co-ordinator for Worcester number and passed it on to my Brother. I'll keep you posted how he gets on.

I find that Phacelia is brilliant for bees and hoverflies. It's a green manure too so you can dig it in or compost it at the end of the year, cut the seedheads off first and keep them for next year.

It's really frustrating isn't it? Just when you think spring is just around the corner. I'm itching to get out, both in the garden and up the lottie, but there's a real snowstorm going on here in Sandwell, so no chance at the moment. And it looks like next week might be out of the question too. Bah!

Have you ever thought Allan that it might be just you?

As you can see, my cat Smudge loves my heated propagator. I think she's hoping to grow a bit!!

I was up the allotment last autumn and heard this really loud crunching in the long grass. It was a hedgehog eating snails. Great to see (and hear). He, or she, was quite tame too. I was glad then that I don't use slug pellets.

Does anyone know of anywhere in Herefordshire where my brother can buy ex battery hens? He has 3 hens at the moment and would like to add to his 'flock' and 'help out' by buying 3 ex battery hens. Would this work, or would the fit hens attack the new hens? Any advice gratefully received

I grew Butternut squash 3 years ago and had some really good ones. They were well worth growing because they made such delicious Butternut and potato soup. The following year I grew them again using saved seed, and they were hopeless, they either didn't germinate at all or keeled over on the plot. W...
