Nemaslug Nematodes: Slug Killer 40m2* was £9.95 now £7.95
Nemaslug nematodes control all common species of small to medium sized slugs. Start your control regime early and you will be able to target the young slugs growing under the ground feeding on humus. Do your young plants look wonderfully healthy one day – and the next morning look like they have provided a banquet meal for the local pests? The culprits are most certainly nocturnal slugs that live in the soil waking up to ravage your beloved plants while you sleep. We have been conducting our own tests over the last couple of growing seasons and have found Nemaslug nematodes

A gas burner barbeque isn’t cheating! It’s so much less effort than getting charcoal lit. I’ve used one and cooked a hundred burgers on it at a special open day at the allotments last year. It was fantasticly easy to use – lighting was easy, and it took a few minutes to warm up and then we were away! Cooking on gas as you might say!
I’d definitely recommend one if you want controlability and you cook for lots of people. There’s no messing about with charcoal and you get an even hear. You even get a side burner to do a pan of onions or beans on!

Hawaiian Palm 3 Plants - SAVE £9.00! - Special Offers
Hawaiian Palm 3 Plants – SAVE £9.00! – Special Offers £35.85
A very long time ago there was a plant that travelled to Hawaii. It grew on the high volcanic slopes that rise from the sea and in the course of time developed according to the local conditions and grew a long flower. Catching the eye of a local bug, the plant and bug lived happily together with the bug developing so it could easily pollinate the plant. Sadly when people started to settle on this glorious island the bug gradually became extinct and so with no bug to pollinate the plant the situation for the Hawaiian palm became critcial. In fact not so very long ago there were only 7 plants left in the wild. Then two brave scientists risked life and limb to climb up to the last remaining plants growing on the vertical slopes and hand pollinated these last surviving palms. Now they have harvested seeds from the palms and with some of these seeds breeding programs have been set up to help this amazing plant survive. One of these breeding programs produced a beautiful variety suited for indoors. You can own one of these houseplants and know that for each of these plants sold a donation is made to support the conservation of this plant and other endangered species on Hawaii.The trunk of this plant is distinctively marked and bears rosettes of emerald green leaves from which the delicate yellow flowers emerge and gently drape down. This is a most unusual and elegant houseplant with a unique story so don’t miss this fantastic offer. Supplied in 13cm pot. Height up to 1m (3′) depending on size pot. Flowering October-November.. 3 Plants – SAVE £9.00!. Full growing instructions included.. . . .
