"I bought a slug trap at the weekend. So farI have rescued a spider and it has claimed the lives of several insects but no slugs. I have killed over 100 with my knife going out at night.  This evening I watered in my nematodes, fingers crossed."

"Don't let it bother you Mark, life is too short.  Add a few dried Chicken manure pellets a week before you plant this year and wait to give your plot a good covering of horse muck this autumn."

Hi Andrew, I haven't actually got a garden as such, just a small piece of soil that's bricked off to one side in my back yard. A few months ago while my next door neighbour still had his grape vine growing up above the wall on my side there was a pair of blackbirds that was visiting every day so I decided to build a bird feeding table to offer them food because they was scouting through my yard for food also, my neighbour has since cut the vine down and the birds are not bothering with the table I made, I joined for some ideas on how to get the birds to come back and feed :) I bought a new greenhouse last year but not been able to put it up yet because of the weather, I need to finish doing the base but the frost is not good to mix cement in lol I still have the plastic greenhouse up and I grow lots of things in containers, because last year was my first year I didn't grow a great deal but intend to try and do much better this year. I want to plant flowers to attract bees and insects as-well as growing veg
