It is good to be reminded to feed the plants in the garden especially the ones in pots as they can't fend for themselves, when we've trapped them in pots.

when is the best time to replant camelies?

I have a small garden with fruit trees, fruit bushes and a arch with white grape on the left and black grape on the right, but I would like to know the best time to prune and how much to prune the trees by?
can you advise on this or may be books that will help.

It is most important to feed plants in borders and pots as Kay Curtis mentioned in her comment back in March. I use either chicken pellets or growmore and a watering of tomato food to plants when in bud once a week.

My runner beans and sweet peas slow growing - I used soil from neighbours old raised beds with compost underneath - fed once with tomato fertiliser.

How often can you feed ? I believe I read you should not over feed and I have no experience so am nervous of doing this. Also is wood ash high in potash fertiliser ? Can I use bonfire ash to feed plants. Is tomato fertiliser ok for all fruit and veg and also for flowers ?

I have a large tub of nettles in water to use as fertiliser, from last year. It looks very strong. Can anyone tell me the correct dilution to use it please?

i have two 5ft. acers in large pots which lost a large amount of their leaves at the same time, the remainder of them seem ok although a a bit brown they are in ericasous compost they are watered regularly but still appear one degree under, any ideas what to do to liven them up?

I've just bought a hydrangea plant from Morrisons - it states feed weekly with high potash fertiliser.

What exactly is potash fertiliser. I've never grown them before

Can i use the ash from my indoor open fire on my garden vegetable patch? I have only burnt wood and paper (and maybe 4 cubes of firelighter). Or if not the vegetable patch on the flowerbeds?

I grow hardy orchids in both pots and in the garden. They benefit from liquid feed. My problem is do I add even more water by liquid feeding when everything is already saturated

I have several outdoor pot plants. How often should I use liquid feed on them? Also, I have a palm in a very large pot which this year looks a bit sad, very yellow. Is it okay to use liquid feed on this? Also, does bamboo in pots need feeding?
