Beware of broadband fed via cable companies as this is via a shared fibre optic cable and thus the more people who are online the slower the service. Bandwidth figures quoted are very often an optimum and you will end up with a lot less. With traditional companies like BT you have your own individua...

Hi Ian, our biggest bed was just 12-13 year old manure last year and was only top dressed with compost this spring to top it up. It had spring onions, beetroot, chanteray carrots and lots of lettuce in succesion. All did very well especially the carrots. With vintage manure in my meagre experience i...

The other 10% is homemade compost and leaf mould. Our beds went into full operation and our crops were supperb in all aspects. ...

From Johnboys point of view, I can see that birds stuffed full of free food are`nt going to eat all the pests and other crawlies that try to decimate his crops which were his living, in addition he lives in the sticks. The vast majority of us either have allotments or traditional gardens which we sh...

Cordon Gooseberry
I have a few gooseberry cuttings that have rooted and are now potted individually. To grow them as cordons do I just let the leader go to the height required and keep all side branches cut back to 3 or 4 buds or is there more to it than that?

Hi Cockney carrot, All of one of my plots is down to raised beds. I grow everything that I normally did in the ground with the exception of potatoes, sweetcorn, peas, leeks and brassicas. I grow these on my other plot as I find that they do better and I like to keep the raised beds free for more gou...

Desert grape for a polytunnel
I intend to plant a grape vine in my tunnel over wires approx 8` high to provide shade for other crops and hopefully a few bunches of grapes.
Can anybody reccomend a variety to buy that is "easy", reliable and wont take over the place?
