Hi Gerry I have a really bad problem with woodlice coming off my lawns onto my gable and front walls.At night it is very bad as people can clearly see them and it is not a nice sight. Also they make their way into my house and can appear out of anywhere. I have tried various things which just kills loads of them , then I have to clean them up. All I really want to know is there something that can keep them in their own space deep in the lawns. Tks Timmy
Please can you advise me of the best time to replant a container Azalea (Rhododendron v 'Glowing Embers'). It has been in the same container for 3 years, although it is still flowering I think It needs a bigger pot. Thanks.
Hi Gerry.I sowed two daisy bushes early this summer, the one with the white flower. They are still in bloom and are now about 40inches in width to about 20 high. The problem is the branches are breaking away from the root leaving gaping holes in my lovely daisy plants. Is it possible that they are too heavy for the root ? They are planted in a windy but sunny spot and I still have lovely blooms. Help as I love them and they cheer me up on a rainy day.Tks
I have a basil plant growing in a pot on my kitchen windowsill above the sink. it has developed a mottled pattern on the leaves, light brown in patches. there are micorscopic black dots all over the leaves the size of a pin head (like finely ground black pepper). the leaves are whithering. what is wrong with the plant.
I'm wondering if it's safe to plant eucalyptus trees near (within a few feet of) a wall as I've heard that their vigorous growing root system can undermine foundations? If 2-3 feet is too close, how much space would you recommend? many Thanks!
Gerry, Need your opinion please. I am putting down shrubbery beds and have received different feedback - for a low growing shrubbery bed (54ft long x 24ft wide) would you put down gravel or wooden bark to cover a weed blanket? People tell me gravel is better as wooden bark fades after the first year and looks dirty...I want it to look nice but with very little maintenance....as I am conscious that really it is only going to need to look well until the shrubs develop and fill up over a few years....
