Re: Late Winter Bits and Bobs.
Sorry about your problems Westi. Inconvenient to be without a car though, especially in this awful wet weather. The problem is navigating all the bureauracratic involved in finding a suitable replacement.

Re: Grow organic vegetables in small spaces
Welcome. ! As others have said, I think the answer lies mainly in the soil. Your own compost heap w the secret here. You can't get enough of it . Get into a habit of doing a nightly slug/snail patrol, especially after the ground has been soaked by rain and dispose of as many as possible. They will k...

Re: Late Winter Bits and Bobs.
Recent heavy winds have dried out our lawns enough to permit a cut. Shockedat how much moss was lurking on the surface but should provide plenty of good nesting material for all the bids in the area !

Re: Late Winter Bits and Bobs.
ROBO, the same thought about thorder of camera use probably ccured to some of the rest of us too! The two procedures may be in different rooms by different clinicians. I,m a little surprised, that if the issue of anaemia had entered your consultant,s mind he hadn,t mentioned it in the follow up lett...

Re: Mycorrhizal Fungae
Myrkk. I don't think you should berate yourself too much for a ooor result with tomatoes. After all, you,re not exactly in the best and warmest location in the UK for growing them! Don't know if you,re growing them in a greenhouse or outdoors. If outdoors, have you tried the tumbling bush varieties ...

Re: Mycorrhizal Fungae
I suspect Geoff is right. Have never used this for anything. A few chicken manure pellets or blood fish and bone have always worked for me if I felt extra nutrients were needed. Buying all this stuff obviously adds to the cost of growing these products and I suspect it,s easy to be taken in and pers...

Re: We're moving to Scotand
Best of luck, Guess the winters wll be rather more chilly up there. Thought you had decided finally to settle down in your own house - obviously the wanderlust is still beckoning.

Re: Late Winter Bits and Bobs.
Crikey Robo. That must have been a shock. Hopefully they haven't mixed you up with another patient of the same name in the same hospital actually happened to a friend of ours a few years ago. Anyway good luck for next week if it,a really is for you. I suppose you have to be grateful that you,re at l...

Re: Late Winter Bits and Bobs.
Frogspawn.
Anybody got any yeti.?
I can't get easily get out into the garden to check now but we've had none in our tiny pond for two Springs. Can,t help wondering if the reluctant grassing over of our vegetable patch has some connection here?

Re: Late Winter Bits and Bobs.
Geoff - what an unbelievably stressful time you've both had! Troubles never come-singly do they and the older we become the less resilient we often are. Good news on your wife's diagnose. Wishing you both good health and better luck in the times ahead.

Re: Laurel - cyanide
Done a quick Google. Was interested in one post on a forum whixh said a gardener had planted hundreds of snowdrop bulbs in an area but after planting a laurel hhedge close by, most of the snowdrops had died. There may have been other reasons for this of course but it does wave a potential red flag i...

Re: Laurel - cyanide
Interesting and valid question given the fact that laurel hedges grow quickly and need to be pruned regularly to prevent them becoming unbearably thick and high. I will go away and Google the issue pending an expert reply.
