ive heard of organic growers using big sheets of envirofleece to cover/grow organic carrots. The white sheets at the top of the pic was some organic growing of crops under envirofleece.

Would a commercial grower on a large scale use a insecticide not available to joe public to control carrot fly? ie spray the crop .Carrot fly control also relies heavily on the use of insecticides, particularly the pyrethroid pesticide lambda-cyhalothrin, applied as a spray in the field immediately before the oviposition periods of the adult flies. Approximately 626 kg of lambda-cyhalothrin were used for this purpose in 2003.

ive bred laying birds for over 20 years the cockerels get culled i only bred to replace existing hens. But on quite a few occasions people have threw young cocks over the fences onto the poultry allotments which winds everyone up.

to deter carrot fly apart from buying carrot fly resistant seeds.Put a 2ft high polythene sheet all around your carrot bed ive read the carrot fly cant go over 18 inch high always had success using this method. I have never been able to grow carrots because of carrot fly. Last year I planted up a large box of carrots on top of my ferret cage. That will sort them Guess what? They had them there. I think with my back garden being on a slope the 2ft flying height does not count as no matter where I plant carrots there is always some ground higher than it that they can drop in off. TC

ardeners down the generations have passed on tips about the best way to grow flowers and veg. But with so many new books and the internet, we can all share the best advice... Soak seeds in a cuppa To encourage seeds to germinate, soak them in cold tea. Its tannins will soften the casing. Chamomile tea is particularly effective as it contains anti-fungal properties, which reduce cases of ‘damping-off’ — a horticultural disease that weakens or kills seeds before they germinate. Some species, such a sweet peas, will struggle to get started unless soaked overnight. From pots to pots! Keep th

Summer heat and drought can stress new plants badly. In order to promote healthy root growth, we can provide moist compost mulches and water deeply every few weeks. Both practices will encourage the production of deep-reaching roots that can forage effectively for nutrients and water. However, when plants are failing before our eyes, slow-acting remedies may not be enough. It's often tempting to try to force-feed ailing plants with soluble fertilizers. This is not a good plan, because stressed plants are far less capable of taking up nutrients than healthy ones. In fact, fertilizer can kill a

ow to Boost Your Tomatoes Defenses with Aspirin The salacylic acid of aspirin mimics a hormone in tomato plants. If you do a Google search you will see a lot of documentation on this fact. The hormone naturally triggers a defense response in tomatoes. You are tricking your tomatoes into to triggering a defense response by spraying it with aspirin. The theory is to induce a defense response before diseases arrive. You are boosting your tomatoes defenses BEFORE an attack of leaf spot or blight occur. I have done this for years and believe it works. The Basic Recipe: 325 mg of aspirin to 1 g

How often? i have had a quick read up on this and the results are suprising it works with veg etc and especially on tomatoe plants. Certainly never heard of this before thanks for putting it up.

i think he is in bury now i know he has moved a few times.The things he told her were family related and personal life related that i dont know how anyone could know. Myself i have never been one nor felt the need to see one. He also gave a opinion on me which was very accurate with no information from her and he was right both good and not so good.

My mrs has been to quite a few but she rates jimmy walker from the bury area i think. Very accurate with the things he told her.
