I have owned a couple of strimmers (the cheaper, Wickes/B&Q type ones) and have come to the conclusion that they are next to useless. The wire snaps all the time and they are a pain to reset. Even...

I have a trelis fence between me and my neighbours that I would like to grow some fragrant plants in pots against (their garden is full of dog poo) I like Jasmin but I find it a little sickly. Can...
I have inherited a pot grown grape vine its about 3ft tall, the label says it is a non-flowering variety. However it now has individual pale mauve flowers. What do you think the chances are that we...

I grow at least 6 different varieties of tomatoes each year and I notice that the smaller the variety the tougher the outer skin. I first thought the growing conditions , too hot, too wet etc was the...
The camelia in my garden had one flower on this year, where as the one in a tub was prolific[not the same variety though]. I thought about digging it out and potting it in a very large tub with...
