    Thanks Charles. I really didn’t see it this way. I think I’ll give the straw a miss.

    Thank you for your thoughts on this Cleansweep. Really like the idea of germinating prior to spreading. Looking forward to trying this out in March.

    Yes in the UK (East midlands).

    As Greyhound isn’t a Savoy, I wasn’t sure whether it was worthwhile over-wintering. After reading your reply though, I’m encouraged to leave it to grow into next spring.

    Many thanks

    Thanks for the reply Charles.

    I was thinking of an M26 rootstock. Would a fan tree based on this be OK around a metre from the veg bed?

    Hi Charles

    I’m a little more optimistic after your post. There is another attachment (without a thumbnail) showing a blackened tomato in the original post. I’ve attached another photo showing what looks to me like infected tomatoes.

    Many thanks for taking the time to have a look.

    Hi Charles

    Sorry for resurrecting an old topic.

    Still not quite finished digging the trench to block invading tree roots. You mentioned that I’ll need to repeat this every few years as the roots will just grow back. Do you think a root barrier like this might be helpful in preventing a re-dig? They don’t come cheap but would be an investment if they work especially against a neighbouring Willow with its 2-3″ roots.

    Hello again Charles

    A follow up question re the the trench you mentioned. How deep should it be and can I refill it after digging?

    Thanks for your tips on covering paths. Any compost cages you’d recommend?
