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.

I just heard about that from our vet, sounds nasty. She said there is a combined flea/lungworm treatment, I think it's a spot on, that you can use regularly if your dog is prone to eating slugs and snails.

 

Apparently this problem has been on the south coast for a while but is now spreading to other parts of the country.

Here's another little tip I learnt from my grandfather. If your soil isn't great, plant some spuds in it. Spuds self-fertilise the ground. Also, don't buy seed potatoes unless you really need to. I buy spuds by the sack. By the time I get to the bottom they are often starting to sprout. Just plant those.

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.:sad:

 

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

Thanks for the tip. I might actually do that.
