Thread: Gardening Tips

Hi everyone. I am a keen gardener but fedup of paying ridiculous amounts at garden centres etc so now I save all toilet/kitchen rolls Cut toilet roll in 1/2 kitchen roll in 1/3's. Fill with seed compost (make sure you fill them on a flat surface lol) pack it well then plant a seed (collected from last years plant) and hey presto free containers. Then you can plant full thing without disturbing roots etc.
Also made a fabulous scarecrow from old coke bottles and thee plastic large plants pots.

all dog owners please be advised if you have slug/snails do no let you dogs near them,they can kill your dog.More advice can be found by googling slug/snal and your dog.I have to watch my dog as he loves picking up sticks when out and about and of course they are sometime covered in slugs/snails.

There is a tv and radio advert about it at the moment,well is in our area,not good but apparently if you get your dog to a vets quickly they can be saved

Is it really gonna work? Okay I will try and will let you know. I love gardening but some times when I don't see the results as I want to I think to give up.

Ye, you just have to be patient. Thats the thing about gardening, sometimes it can be years until you see your results.

I buy spuds by the sack. By the time I get to the bottom they are often starting to sprout. Just plant those.

Thanks for the tip. I might actually do that.

It's good to see that People are ware about gardening and crazy like me. Even I just love it and spend my maximum time in my garden. It gives me immense pleasure and satisfaction.
