What does "MI" stand for please?

Up until recently, we had an open vent sealed system boiler in our house but due to its age (and tha fact it kept on packing in), we recently got it replaced by a new combi boiler and it works a treat now. When installing the boiler, the CORGI fitter said that he had to isolate the pipes...

I planted a rose bush around the beginning of Spring this year. When I planted it, the bud had developed but it was merely a wooden stump approximately 5 inches from the ground. I thought it would take years to flower however to my surprise, it flowered last week with one single flower. What...

Thanks for that Oompah. So I'm leaving it untouched until the beginning of next Spring when I will be cutting it down to just above ground level?

Will it not grow out of control over the next few weeks though?

So, as my Buddleia hasn't flowered as yet, should I have cut it back yet? As you can see from the photo, I haven't yet.

What do you mean by that Chud? So when do I need to cut it back and to what level?

I bought a Buddleia Davidii last year, planting it indoors initially before transferring it outside last summer. Here's a pic of it at the moment: I'd ideally love to keep the Buddleia at a height a few inches above the fence but I don't want to be pruning the plant too much if that is...

Thanks Chud. Just planted some this evening and will let you know how I get one :)

I'm looking for a nice flowering climber plant to spread across my dividing fence (it's only about 9ft by 3 ft). I'm after one that doesn't require much watering neither and only gets partial sunlight. Any suggestions?

I have a very small front garden; it's about 8 foot by 8 foot wide. I have basically planted a few plants (three against each wall) and as a result, there's about a foot of space between each plant. As you can see, the plants already in place are not yet established fully. I am looking...

I reckon my system may have been installed around 1990. Is there anyway I can verify if my system has been set up this way? As said, I turned off the TRV on the first radiator nearest to the hot water tank and subsequently, the second and third radiator were cold (there are only three...

So, I switched my first radiator (next to hot water tank) off as the last radiator (downstairs) was cold and was hoping to flush out any air within system. Now, when I switched off the first radiator by the TRV, all the other radiators in the system were cold. It was like the hot water couldn't...

Even Americans know of our reputation :) I've got this thread running here and also this thread. I'm just assuming the problem is much bigger than I originall thought.
