Gardening with Joey

[kev]

I have repotted the plant back in my greenhouse fighting for its life 50-50 chance of it pulling around

At least your plant has a 50-50 chance of surviving. The poor bloody weevils stand no chance if you "squeeze them like pimples" and hit them with a "blunt instrument"

those prawny larvae squeeze them like pimples to kill them

you have to kill it with a blunt implement as it has an armoured shell on its back

Once again your murderous tendencies and violent nature are shown in your postings @Joey66
Bad man you are

Have got my 'tree man' coming on Saturday to give me a quote for pruning all my trees and shrubs. He usually charges about £350 but I think it will be a lot more as everything seems twice the size as we missed a complete year due to lockdown.

We may use the same 'tree man'
He has branches everywhere.

This is Maidenhead I'm afraid, there won't be any cheaper quotes. Plus this guy has been doing my garden for about 10 years. They clean up so good you can't find a leaf on the ground anywhere when they've finished.

Always ask locally about other firms ......with good recommendation.......get a detailed quote - familiarity can still cause an over inflated price if you have that much confidence be cheeky after the written quote ask for a discount........if you don't ask you don't get.....

I'm looking to fertilise my soil what should I use and where can I get it ?
Does it matter if I leave old roots in?
I'm preparing for next year so any tips would be appreciated ?

I’m curious what advise does @Joey66 has but at the end of the season I usually enrich my soil by adding one to two layers of manure and compost. Some roots like my green beans I will leave them as they will add nitrogen to the soil.
