Is it true that nettle brew is a good nutrient for veg plots, lawns & shrubs compared to other enhancers or do you still need to give those areas another fertilisers boost.
New to veg growing this past year and only started in May 2009. I didn't use raised beds nor did i use manure. My carrots & parsnips didn't mature to the size that i would have expected, while my peas were difficult to hold up the stems. Any tips how to improve for next year.
Having a problem with weeds on bark and on chippings, not so much coming through the bark/chips but seems to be growing on top of it. I have tackled it aggressivel through the old fashion way of pulling them and have some success. A weed that is getting difficult to control is "horsetail" and i sprinkled a little of Carason G on it. Not seeing much improvement, what can i do to tackle this weed or all other weeds?
