  4. @fionathegarden Herbs for shade? How about garlic, Fiona? Or ginger, celery, or even rocket? Yummm ... we're getting hungry now! :)

  17. @JULIANBRAY You're right, Julian, we should've been more clear that just 1 spike won't do! We've seen it done with nails too - works well!
  18. Sharp sand should be added to heavy clay soil before planting to improve drainage #gardening
  19. Put a mesh cover over your pond during autumn to prevent leaves from falling into it and rotting #gardening
  20. Try to spike your lawn once a year to allow air and water to reach grass roots more easily #gardening
