I have some. I'll get mixing it.
It's odd, I want the growbags to be all nice and organic, but I'm more than happy to put anything I can on the patio to kill the weeds.

Council plant sale yesterday. Came back with �30 of stuff. I'd better get planting, then. (Not *right* now, obviously.)

I bought one of those living lettuce packs from the stupormarket salad counter for 75p on Saturday. Nicely filled the gap where the peas used to be. I found out how the chickens got in too as they all rushed over to "help" and popped through a little gap at the back of the netting.

Does anyone know anything about relocating trees?
We have a massive Acer in our back garden, it must have been there 30 years and is at least 10 ft tall. Unfortunate thing is it is slap bang in the middle of the garden and takes up too much space. I would love to relocate it to a corner when we landscape the garden next year, but don't know how plausable this would be. I have no idea how much it would cost to get a professional tree moving company to do this but can't imagine it would be cheap so would like to avoid this if at all possible. I really don't want to just chop it down and kill it because it is beautiful

Oh crikey Poots, that sounds like a major job.
At the other end of the 'size' scale, any ideas why the middles of my saxifrage are dying?

i seem to remember watching a programme about moving a tree; i think they dug a trench around the tree and filled it with something - maybe sand. then left it till it was dormant and wrapped the roots in sacking and gradually lifted it out and moved it...... sorry really vague but i'm sure it was something along those lines..... maybe someone else remembers?
maybe the saxifrage would benefit from splitting....
however, i dont know anything really so maybe best ignored!

Saxifrage dying? Hmmm. I find they sometimes like a bit of a shakeup and a good rummage through their dying bits sometimes cheers them up. Are they too wet?

Not at all, H - I was wondering if they were too dry in fact. Will post picture this evening.

Yes, please do and we'll have a think. I'm going across to Mum's tonight so we shall discuss.
