Mr Green the gecko says ...

“Love Thy Neighbour”

I often talk about companion plants and how a bit of planning can make for an even more successful garden. Don’t plant your peas near any plants deriving from the onion family. Also, keep strawberries away from potatoes. Follow these simple rules and your garden should thrive!

Mr Green the gecko says ...

“Don’t throw away your egg shells!”

Make a border of crushed eggshells around your plants to stop snails eating them. They don’t like the jagged edges. Egg shells can also be put in your worm farm or in the compost.
