With UK gardens bursting into colour, this is a beautiful time of year — but it’s also a busy time, preparing the garden for the seasons ahead.

  • Pest control, notably slugs and snails
  • Growing your own food
  • Container gardening
  • Getting the best from roses
  • Effective watering
  • Peat-free compost
  • Plus, an important Health and safety tip for keen gardeners

Thanks to Martin Fish for his time. Martin has an excellent Facebook site and YouTube Channel called Pots & Trowels - links here:
