Hi Lizzie, I hope things are better this week. I'm concerned that all our comments are making things worse. No one likes being taken for granted, but is this getting a bit out of perspective. Perhaps if you had a break and thought things through you might feel it wasn't worth getting so upset about....

You've had good advice about the ventilation, and the cool glass will be good a little later. Our allotment is on a very windy site, and I was concerned that if the auto vent was open when it was very windy it might cause the glass to blow out, so I've only put an auto vent on the leaward side and h...

If you sow beetroot into modules, make sure it never gets too dry or they will be ruined. Keep them just moist until you transplant them and they should be fine, but I do find the ones sown directly outside do much better. Leeks are very adaptable and put up with anything (within reason) you want to...

The best crop of parsnips I ever had was from self sown seeds round a couple of plants I had left in to go to seed. I left a few where they had germinated and transplanted others into a proper row and they all grew wonderfully well. I'm leaving three plants in to go to seed this year and hoping for ...

We've actually had the coldest winter for quite a few years here. There were two weeks of continuous frost when night time temperatures went down to minus 10C on at least three occasions. Even after that I was going to do an experiment with the black plastic, clear plastic and open ground and I coul...

Hi Lizzie, We usually eat fresh from the garden (plus meat or fish) but I thought the takeaway would teach him a lesson!!!. You could cook fresh meat for yourself and get the takeway for your partner to be really mean, but that would have you cooking anyway - oh dear. You'll just have to go away for...

I've just looked it up on www.epsomsaltcouncil.org/garden_benefits.htm and it is good for germination, uptake of nutrients and lots more. Take a look at their web site - I can't remember it all.
