I don't normally watch gardening progs.I'm all 'journalisted' out I'm afraid but I was tempted to watch this one and it was quite entertaining BUT not very informative for new growers. If the idea was to tempt people to find out more then it might succeed but as a guide to growing it will not.Nice t...

Yep..I've encountered this before,in a pond about 30ft across and it turned out to be trapped air. It could be that the filling up of the water table has pushed the air out of the soil and it can't escape.We had quite a simple solution which involved loosening the liner in a couple of places around ...

I made one out of a dustbin as per instructions in a leaflet but i found it just couldn't cope with the amount of stuff comming out of a busy kitchen and kept going slimy and flyey(ooh..I think I just invented a word) so I gave up and just put it all on the compost heap as normal...it's full of worm...
