England 5 - Germany 1? No, should have been six. ****in Heskey.

Sounds like it could be red thread. There's been quite a lot of it about so far this year. Can you see a reddish colour in any of the patches? If so cut, wait 3-4 days and apply a high nitrogen granular feed, water it in well then cut about 7-10 days after application. Cut at least once a...

It's a Dragon fly called a Broad bodied Chaser.

That's how I read it. CPEA?

Laburnums won't always flower in successive years. They have a tendency to drain themselves of their energy reserves whenever they put on a good show and can take another season to stabilise again. Give them a high Potash feed and leave them to their own devices. You can also have a hunt...

If you want to win a Tallest Sunflower competition don't rely on a six year old and a non horticultarilist mother with seemingly no common sense to pick up the seeds. Our Dwarf sunflower seeds are in. Photo attached. I'll try myself to pick up some seeds if I get some free time. If not...

How deep and of what quality is the substrate the lawn was laid on?

Could be one of a number of things or a combination. Acers love free draining soil. Is there anything different about this pot that could see the Acer sitting in waterlogged conditions? They also don't like direct sunlight. They need some protection all the time. As opposed to morning...

Will arrange photos/positioning/top secret compost formula etc all this week :lol:

When you moved it there should have been a very long taproot protruding from the bottom of the fibrous rootball (possibly 2-3 feet long ). If this is snapped off/cut when transplanting then chances of survival are slim to none. This seems to be the case with your plant, it could easily use up...

Count me in.

Either will do, it just depends how long you can wait as seeding will take longer to achieve results than laying turf. In either case give the patch a thorough clean up of any debris and stones, break up and rake the surface until you've produced a nice tilth (adding topsoil if necessary)...

To ring the Ivy just cut the stems as close to the base of the tree as possible and let it die. To prevent nicking the tree try to pull the stems away from the tree first, use a sharp knife, small pruning saw, loppers or secateurs and obviously be careful when cutting. Pull or dig out the...

Nothing wrong with an Autumn feed, ratios are adjusted depending on the season, Phosphate and Potash are beneficial now. It's relatively straight forward to maintain a healthy lawn without the need to pay someone else to do it. Have you thought about doing it yourself? How long have they...

nail on head. with the little info posted it can be easily assumed that the comfort of the dog walk was an emotionally postive crutch for the poor bloke.

not sure why i quoted you there mr pickles. something to do with the pub opening in 5 minutes lol

I worked in an office for 6 years and packed it in to do gardening full time (my lifelong hobby). Best thing I ever did. I'll write a list of do's and dont's when i get half an hour spare
