(V): I've found the darker bees(malt) are more to the slugs taste but they'll go after a good european lager. :-)

Emne: Re: Beer
(V): I make home brew and I find the tailings in a small pot are excellent, and to make them child proff you can place it under a pot as long as there is acess for the slugs.

satinjade: is or are they cymimbidiums not sure on spelling. I've got mine in 20 lte pots filled with a really course potting mix nearly bark, need to have 3 green bulb, before they will flower and where we are we need to water heaps in the summer which is our Jan & Feb to get good spikes. Hope this helps

Emne: Re: Is it possible to grow potatoes on an apt balcony?
Jim Dandy:Certainly can get a big enough container , I've used a plastic rubbish bin put some compost in the bottom , put a couple of seed spuds in and as the tops grow keep filling up with compost, just leave a bit of green showing all the time and make sure you put in enough holes for excess water to drain off.

Emne: Laburnum tree
I want to know if I should prund my Laburnum tree, when we put it in it was a small bundle of leaves at the top of a long slender trunk. Then in the summer it went wild and sent out two branches which are over one meter long. Now it is shedding its leaves I'm wondering if I should cut it back. Any thought anybody?

Emne: Re: Bamboo
☼ajtgirl☼:I'm not sure on the chemicals in it but it, causes the roots to rot. We cleared the area and i think replanted a couple of months later.
I'll have a hunt around and find out who makes it and what it's active ingredients are

Emne: Re: Bamboo
☼ajtgirl☼: We had a problem with bamboo and were able to get rid of it using a product called woody weed killer. Don't know if you have that in the states but it sure takes the hard work out of getting rid of bamboo.
