Re: Broccoli
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.

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.

Do they taste any different to the red? MW We have whitecurrants but they don't fruit as well as the red and I ...

Re: I've been hacked!
