Hi there, I just taken over allotment plot which hasnt be dug over for at 3yrs. I just wondering what fertilizers would be the best to use to dig into it.
Hello Gerry, I'm new to Ireland and I'm looking for suppliers of Rooster seed potatoes, either online or local. Could you also recommend a good Irish salad potato. Thanks.
Hi GerryI have a sloping bank at the back of my house with a wet corner at one end. Can you recomend plants that are easy to maintain. I will be mulching between the plants. Are there are pictures of landscapped slopes that are mature. Sometimes it nice to see what the effect will look like in a few yearsWhat would you think of dogwood (red and yellow). Is this a hard plant to maintain.The effect of this plant in winter is nice.Mary
This appears every spring in a shady woody area and is bright red and orange.
Hi GerryI have housemartins nesting under my eve this last few years and their droppings are destroying my flowers.Will placing a mirror or CD in the apex of the eve deter them from building by causing a reflection of themselves or have you any other methods to stop them building?The are also on my garage but the can stay there as I like them flying around but just not nesting on my house.
Where can I buy semi-mature trees (preferably delivered) ?The nurseries won't sell retail, and they say to go to a garden centre. The garden centres say they don't have anything so big, and that I should go to a Nursery...!?(I know that Landscapers also can supply from nurseries, but I don't want to use a landscaper - I want to do the job myself...)
