Gardening Tips

With a focus on sustainable, organic and environmentally friendly gardening, here are a collection of tried and tested tips and hacks. 

Having recently experienced an outbreak of powder mildew in my garden, I tested a couple of organic approaches to remedy the problem that was taking down a couple of my new plants. For two weeks I sprayed every five days with a milk and water solution. Although this did knock back the issue when I switched to a mixture of baking soda and water, the issue was fully resolved after just two heavy sprays. 

Painting rocks to look like strawberries or tomatoes will stop birds from stealing your crop as they get an unexpected experience when they try to eat the rock and then associate that location and plant as non edible.
