seaweed
has anyone used seaweed to improve their soil?  Do you dry it out, shred it, or just let it breakdown  naturally? Have a look here http://www.gardenersworld.com/forum/fruit-and-veg/seaweed/31226.html  I have used seaweed for years. It's the best by blair barnett

spring onions
the chives? What happened? I always grow good spring onions except for the past two years. I grow the improved varieties of spring onions and they are fine in late spring but then flop over in summer. This year I intend growing in smaller batches by salisbury sister

Another Vitopod question
out in the kitchen! My wife also can't wait for the light and temps to improve, so I'm outside not under her feet or trawling nursery and seed sites buying loads of things! I do keep a diary, and as I have a 10'x12' greenhouse, I like to grow toms by Iain R

ORGRO or not to GRO
be quite annoyed if they were misled into buying it by the description you quote. As you say, it is quite expensive - I would prefer to spend the equivalent on proper well-rotted farmyard manure which, when used on the soil will also improve the structure by Brumbull

, back to bare trunks. You might then be able to disguise the stumps with some tough little shrubs, roses or perennials, though if the roots remain you may need to improve the soil around them.  I would like to thank everyone for their ideas and advice by roses2

Lavender hedge!!
leave them and see what happens? Leave well alone. As weather warms....and dries up....your lavender should improve. If it does recover dont be tempted to water it at all. Lavenders have not enjoyed this wet winter and few will be looking that good by MattCUK76
