Help!!! My Grass won't grow!

in motion, then when it is a little warmer, feed, seed and rake the garden. Takes time, but it's worth it! Worm casts on the surface (if that's what they are) are a good sign. The little tunnels that the worms dig help to aerate the lawn, and improve by Mark O'Neill

Unstable young birch tree

- always better than a round hole as the roots will grow out rather than around the periphery of the hole. Certainly don't plant it deeper! Consider using a perforated pipe to deliver water and air. Tree roots need aeration as well as water. Good Luck! by Hedge Hog

Plug plants ,How much perlite to add to multi purpose compost ?

Preparing to lay a lawn

the bigger stones out (anything 2-3" or bigger), this sounds like effort but trust me, if you do this, when it comes to aerating the lawn, (stabbing with a fork) no stones = an easy life. Good luck. PS: you will need to give some attention every year by My first garden

what can I put in compost

for the rest of it. I've got 3 bins, one being filled, one rotting down and the third ready to go. Mixing the contents does help, if you google 'compost aerators' you'll find a bunch of nifty tools for use in a dalek type bin. Keeping the contents moist helps by Bev Pounsett-Krynauw
