It makes more sense that they are from a cherry, quite common with those.

look like root galls to me - part of the leylandii root system

Not knowing what the weather is like your way but mine is looking pretty dodgy just because it needs a good watering.

just use 2 washers inside the adaptor, the standard hozelock ones aren't thick enough.

I always get that problem with those connectors. I just use an extra washer in it. always works.

1. Wait 'til they're a bit bigger and pull them out by hand or use a hoe if able to do so without damaging other plants. 2. Don't dig the ground over again, could also try some form of mulch.

No law about using seed potatoes, but they are generally certified virus free - which the ones you get in the supermarket won't be.

Also can grow basil, marigolds and oregano nearby, all helps withe the whole process. I would suggest a very weak solution of general purpose fertiliser to perk the plants up a bit.

Tomatoes don't really need insects to pollinate. their male and female parts are so close together a little shake of the plant every so often will be enough.

We had one cut down last year - they cut it to 1 foot below the soil level. Damn thing still keeps growing back :evil:

I have a 12'x8' and it is just set onto breeze blocks as put in the previous post. It has been up for MANY years (20+). OK, it looks slightly wonky now, but it still performs admirably.

The fabric is to stop the chemicals from the preservatives used on the sleepers lecching into the soil. This is for veg. growing so if you are only ever growing ornamentals in the bed there is no need. No real need to dig over the grass either unless you plan on growing root veg in there.

Slugs, mice or birds. As it is only the petals though I would say not slugs. When do they get eaten? if at night probably mice, if in the day probably birds.

Let me rephrase slightly - is it OK to have a pumped supply to a bath? My concern is that at some time only one supply (cold or hot) will be turned on, as opposed to a shower where both are always on. Will this cause damage to the pump if it is trying to pump against a closed tap - or do...

Does it have a primer? 4 pushes on the primer button and mine starts first time every time (Briggs and Stratton engine)

The hot tank in the airing cupboard

The pump only feeds the shower Kitchen tap is fed from rising main the pipes that run to the pump come from the hot tank in the airing cupboard next to the pump and the cold tank up in the roof

At present we just have a shower that is fed by a pump. We want to put in a bath. Where do we take the water feed from. a) the pipes before the pump b) the pipes after the pump c) it doesn't matter, whichever is easiest. Thanks.
