Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I'm in! Am going to try three growing methods:

1. Direct in the soil - which is best but I managed just one plant last year from about 20 seeds, largely due to slugs & snails

2. Direct in a big pot

3. Start in small pots and transplant once big and strong enough to withstand a bit of attack from rampant molluscs.

Are you going to start a 2017 thread, bigleggy?
