many thanks all for info i'm in the midlandsbut still get some pretty heavy frosts right through to may, my diy pollytunnel is a couple of corrogated clear sheets i've found i only have a small plot but it's enough for two. i'll have a go in the greenhouse boarder too and get some under the cloche/p...

i've recently read somewhere that you can plant potatoes under a plastic tunnel in feb and without earthing up and they'll be a reliable crop. has anybody tried this as i'm unsure if it wil work?

my wife has come up with a great and very cheap way of cleaning our slabs. roughly 10 part water 1 part bleach, its killed all the moss and cleaned the slabs a treat much better than all these patio cleaners!!!

hi has anyone got any tips for what to grow and when in a greenhouse? i'd like to get as much use as possible out of mine

hi is there any way of telling that your carrots have been infected? mine look absolutly fine and the tops are good but as soon as i pull them out,they're full of disease i've had about 4 carrots out of 2 10' rows

i have severe powdery mildew on my peas, squashes and even flowers it seems to invade over night and can't control it at all! am i best to just try again next year or is there something i could do now to control the problem?

hi zena i've just had the free fig (brown turkey) from kg and it says to repot every 2 years, apply a slow release fetiliser in feb and also mulch at this time. also recomends to use john innes no:-3 compost. happy fruiting

cheers guys i'll try and keep my compost a little wetter now.

my compost is rotting down quite nicely, but it is swarming with life ants, flies etc is this normal? and is it ok to use? many thanks
