Can anyone help me identify the plant below? I've got a patch of it growing in our new (overgrown) allotment, and it looks as if it was planted on purpose. I would like to know what it is before I…Continue

I've just taken on a new allotment after a few years away from the fun of veg growing on a larger scale (my single raised bed of lettuce at home plus a few containers doesn't really count!). I am…Continue

Kath Middleton replied to Clive Scoggins's discussion What's this?"It's horseradish, you're right. It's the root you need to make a relish - grated. You'll find recipes on Google no doubt."
Clive Scoggins replied to Clive Scoggins's discussion What's this?"You can see the patch of it growing just behind The Under-gardener, if seeing it growing helps.

Can anyone help me identify the plant below? I've got a patch of it growing in our new (overgrown) allotment, and it looks as if it was planted on purpose. I would like to know what it is before I dig it all up as a weed.It's got really deep gnarly white roots (this one snapped). I was thinking perhaps horseradish? If it is I'll keep some, although there's far too much there at the moment!Thanks!See More

There's been a definite allotmenty theme running through both cards and pressies! Which is nice."

Clive Scoggins replied to Damo's discussion Do your children love homegrown veg?"Young Sam the Under-gardener (aged 4 and a half) seems to eat most veggies. He was extremely chuffed yesterday when I asked him to help me cook dinner, a DIY ratatouille-style meatball sauce. He was in charge of chopping the courgettes (albeit a…"
Clive Scoggins replied to BeckyCollina's discussion My Squash and Marrow plants don't look too good....?"It's powdery mildew. Extremely common disease in cucurbits. I used to get it all the time on courgette and squash plants at my previous allotment - I think the spores can lie dormant in the soil for some time. Googling it will bring up advice…"
Clive Scoggins replied to Clive Scoggins's discussion Paths on the cheap"It's just compacted mud at the moment, so I can do with it what I will. Could rake over and sow a grass seed, but then won't be able to walk on it for a while! My previous allotment had grass paths, the problem was it contained couch grass…"
Sarah Rideout replied to Clive Scoggins's discussion Paths on the cheap"Have a good look at what's there now, is it a grass path? If there is someone who strims all the grass paths on the site it might be worth leaving it as it is - better for beetles apparently! We have a community allotment with a mix of…"
Carrie Gault replied to Clive Scoggins's discussion Paths on the cheap"We have done chips and membrane and now have realised that we basically need the cheapest gravel/quarry dust. We have a great farmers shop just up the road and it isn't dear - think about it, even a little at a time. It you go to any well…"
Clive Scoggins replied to Jan Willetts's discussion Onion mould"Sadly this sounds like white rot. Not good news I'm afraid. Check out the RHS advice here: apps.rhs.org.uk/advicesearch/Profile.aspx?pid=226
I hope it's not!"
VP replied to Clive Scoggins's discussion Paths on the cheap"I'm with Soilman - not only do you get chemicals leaching out, but if the carpet's backed with rubber rather than hessian you'll have tiny little bits of rubber in your soil for ever more. Lots of allotment sites now ban the use of…"
Soilman replied to Clive Scoggins's discussion Paths on the cheap"Be a tad careful with old carpet. Some carpets (esp the cheaper ones!!) have rather nasty chemicals in them that leach into your soil as they break down. So either use Axminster 100% wool twist or avoid altogether!!
