Hi Gerry, I planted a cherry tree " Stella" 4 years ago and it is very healthy. Every year it has a very good crop but then the fruits dry up, shrivel and fall of the tree. This year there were about 10 edible cherries but even then they were not as plump as they should be.Could it be that the ground is to dry directly after flowering? We had no rain during the entire month of May this year and last year.Thanks Clair

Our lawn was overrun with moss and weeds. I put down a 3 in 1 lawn feed, moss and weed killer. There are areas of spillage and/or overapplication. After 3 days the grass seems to be turning black and grey. Is there anything I can do to rectify or lessen the damage on these areas?

I had a black poplar cut out of the garden 2 years ago as it was putting up shoots all over the lawn aswell as elsewhere in the garden. The tree stump is dead but i still have shoots everywhere and they are extremely problematic. Any suggestions please.
