Horny friend
I rescued a very handsome stag beetle from being chopped up by the lawnmower 4 weeks ago. He has been living happily in my greenhouse ever since. I have been spraying him with water and putting fruit down for him. I don't think he will find a mate in our garden. Should I release him into the country...

Re: greenhouse thermometer
Thank you all for your help I tried all your tips. It still wouldn't budge ! As a last resort I put it in a bucket of boiling hot water for a while which amazingly appears to have fixed it. I have put it in the potting shed today to test it as my greenhouse is only half up. Thats another story. Plea...

Re: greenhouse thermometer
The blue thingy appears to be stuck at 110 with an inch gap above the mercury. I have preessed the button about a hundred times and nothing moves. I hope Robert Dyas will take it back

greenhouse thermometer
I bought a manual greenhouse max/ min thermometer yesterday (push button reset model) It is a pain in the ****! I just cannot work out how or even if it works. If I take it back to the shop is there a more user friendly version I could swop it for ? Any advice please ?
