Product Review - Gro-Sure Smart Ground Cover

I was asked a few weeks ago if I wanted to trial some Gro-Smart Ground Cover, which is made by Westland. I hesitated a little before agreeing as I am not someone who generally mulches areas of the garden. One look at my weed population will confirm this but I do like to have self-seeders and mulches will keep them controlled as well as the weeds. After some thought I realised that it could be really useful in my vegetable borders where I do want to restrict self-seeders from colonising. A short time later a bag duly arrived.
The first thing I noticed is that it is incredibly light. I braced myself to lift the bag and it was really easy to lift.

Then I set to spreading it out where I am growing beans this year. I am not growing a lot of veg this year but nothing beats the taste of freshly picked french beans.
I spread it so it was a few centimetres thick as the instructions stated. I made sure the bed was well weeded and I also picked a day after we had had quite a lot of rain.…

RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2020 - the virtual one

Regular readers will know that RHS Chelsea Flower Show is the highlight of the show garden season for me. I have attended every year since 2002 and would not miss it if it can be possibly avoided. Of course this year nothing is usual and in the great scheme of things not going for a nice day out not high on my list of worries, but still I am going to feel the lack of not going quite keenly.
Thankfully the RHS have decided not to leave us totally bereft. There is going to be a virtual Chelsea Flower Show online. Details of which can be found here. There are some really good things planned.
One of things I will definitely be taking part in is the voting for the Chelsea Plant of the Decade. If you read The Garden Magazine there is a piece in there about it written by Graham Rice. Every year I wander along to the area at the show that displays the runners up and the winner. Now I am rubbish at deciding who should win as I go for what I think is prettiest and apparently it is not a b…

How we can help support closed nurseries, gardens and gardeners

Never has the word 'unprecedented' been used so much as it is at the moment. We are living in the strangest and darkest times for decades. Public places including gardens are closed, no gatherings of more than two people are allowed and non-essential businesses are closed. We have to do this, we know that we must keep safe from Covid-19 but we also know that millions of people from every part of life have lost their livelihood overnight. I thought I would gather a few things together that will give support to struggling gardeners and horticultural based businesses and also help us who are social distancing and self-isolating feel a bit less distant and isolated.
The charity https://perennial.org.uk/has been supporting horticultural workers for 180 years. As I write this their freephone helpline is working as usual and they are provide free and confidential support to anyone who has worked in or is working in the horticultural industry in the UK. They also provide help to…
