David Ford replied to Kate Sunderland's discussion peas and nets"I netted mine last year and had no problem with pollination I had so many other sources of pollen for the bees on the plot I don't think they felt hard done by"
Stephen Shirley replied to Kate Sunderland's discussion peas and nets"Spraying at flowering time with a garlic based spray will greatly reduce pea weevil issues.
Just like tomatoes, peas (and beans) are naturally completely self pollinating so do not need any help from our winged friends (though they do like to…"
Darren Blick replied to Kate Sunderland's discussion peas and nets"I suffer from pea moth also. There isn't much you can do about it

Hi allIn preparation for the drought that we are forcast this summer and therefore hose pipe bans (boo!) does anyone have any innovative watering ideas?I have a 3 by 10 meter plot and I would like to rig up some kind of irrigation system. I was thinking of a raised water butt with hose pipe attached at the tap and peircing some holes in the hose to create a gravity lead drip irrigation system. But I have a few questions: how high do I need to be able to raise the water butt? will normal hose…See More
Stacy Drury replied to Kate Sunderland's discussion Flowers"sweet peas up an Obelisk is always a must and I also love Crocosmia's they always add a splash of colour, Lucifer is a great one and both make great cut flowers.
