Re: Lunar planting

Lunar gardening is something I've not yet been able to try out. Not having that much room for growing, it hasn't seemed worth it. One bit of advice though if you're going to try it, regardless of how closely you follow the other rules, never plant anything when the moon is void-of-course (between si...

I wouldn't mind moles, they're not so much with the scary :-p I know you have no snakes, the Druids took them with them when Patrick persecuted them into leaving :-D But minks, foxes and badgers?

Re: Goji berries?

Does anyone know of any (UK) garden centres th...

Re: Project Holidays?

Wow! Thats a fabulous idea! I'm hopefully going over to a friend's in Queensland during summertime to do something similar, orchard planting and the like, but if that doesn't work out...
