We had a problem with green fly on our small patch of potatos so we sprayed them with Rose Clear. We later read that this should not be used on vegetables. Is that direct contact eg lettuce or should we discard these potatos now.

I have read your advice about where to plant leeks but at what time of the year should I do so. Also is it possible to get starter leeks or would I be better to plant seeds. I don't have a greenhouse but do have a shed that is very light.

Battled bravely with beautiful inherited laurel hege on both sides of house, each side approx 200 ft long x 15 ft wide x 13 ft high. Need to cut it back really hard - losing many feet on sides and maybe 5 ft on top - radical! When can I do this and can I use a tractor/mechanical hedge cutter. Heresy I know, but one last effort to keep in under control!
