when you prune trees or shrubs if you have lots of long pieces of stem to cut out then keep them to one side. You can use them to make plant supports and frames. Let them dry stood up in a corner of the garden – don’t use them fresh as some plants will grow from having stalks pushed in the ground.

This means you have free canes!
Plants like buddhleia are good for cutting canes from.
You could easily get several crops of sticks from one tree. If you want thicker sticks then leave the tree to grow more.

Look after your garden tools well especially those you use for cutting. Clean and oil after use if they need it and don’t leave tools in the rain!

Grow your own comfrey!
I bought both seeds and roots from T&M earlier this year!
I got plenty of comfrey seedlings coming up but the bocking 14 cuttings are doing amazingly well!
I’m letting them flower as the bees love them! And the bocking 14 won’t set seed so it’s safe.
The root cuttings were started in pots to get them going -and to protect the young tender leaves from slugs.
Once the plant is established then slugs aren’t a problem but until it is you need to protect it. After the plants were coming up I planted them out in their proper positions and firmed them in well. They’ve really done well and I could probably cut a crop from them but I’m letting them get really well established before I do that – so the first cut will be next year. They’re happy to have plenty of muck put on them too.

The seeds will be much more established next year – the plants are catching up but are some way behind. If you want more instant comfrey then buy the roots but if you like the idea of a comfrey that will self seed then buy the seeds – but you have been warned!

Bees love comfrey flowers so if you have some in a corner of your garden you’ll see bees on the pretty flowers in summer!

So remember if you don’t want comfrey spreading then you have to either grow bocking 14 variety or cut the plant regularly before it sets seed.

Comfrey should be grown in every garden and on every allotment.
Once your comfrey is established then you can dig it up and cut roots off to split it up unto more plants. This way you can make a bigger patch or pass on root cuttings to friends who would like some in their garden.

Comfrey ‘Bocking 14’ – 5 root cuttings £6.99
Grow your own soil conditioner! Comfrey ‘Bocking 14’ contains high levels of basic NPK nutrients and because it is a sterile hybrid, it won’t self seed all over your garden. The nutrient rich foliage of comfrey can be used as a compost activator, mulch, or soaked in barrels of water for 3 to 5 weeks to make a useful liquid feed for tomatoes and beans. Scatter the wilted leaves throughout potato trenches just before planting, to fertilise the crop and improve their flavour! Once established, this quick growing plant can be cut 3 or 4 times throughout the growing season, for a constant supply of nutrient rich, organic, comfrey fertiliser. Height: 100cm (40”). Spread: 75cm (30”).

Comfrey – 1 packet (30 seeds) £2.29
Comfrey leaves can be harvested several times a season and used as a compost activator to help breakdown other compost materials. This perennial herb is also used as a mulch, and makes superb liquid manure on tomato and potatoes plants. Height: 120 (47″). Spread: 150cm (59″).

Comfrey Pellets – 1 litre bag – 600 gms £12.99
All the superb attributes of comfrey – rich in potash, trace elements and minerals – for all of your vegetable plants, particularly beneficial with potatoes. Apply the pellets direct when planting, 125g per sq.m, also makes a concentrated liquid feed (200g steeped in 1 litre of water for 3 days, then diluted 1:25 as a foliar feed). Pellets can be added to rotted garden/ farmyard compost, 600g incorporated in 125 kgs of compost. Comfrey pellets naturally enrich the soil, as a soil conditioner, essential for the long term health of your vegetable garden.

If you have friends or family who garden then they can help you reduce the cost of buying plants and seeds.
Share seeds between you – there’s usually far too many seeds in one packet for one person to use up.

Buy plant offers together – if you’re buying bedding plants with a couple of friends then you can have more types and share them!
Bulk buying compost and pots can work out cheaper too – especially when the 3 for 2 offers on are.

Split and share plants with people too. Many perennials are divided up by splitting the root ball. Check the info for each plant as some like to be done at a particular time of the year.

Learn to save seeds from plants. This is useful for flower seeds as well as peas, beans and even tomatoes. Some thing need a little more than just drying on the plant and then being picked before they seed naturally but it’s not complicated at all.
Ask neighbours to save you seeds too – they might even offer to let you have plants from their garden! Offer something in return!
Sometimes you’ll see a garden that’s really lovely – if someone is in it doing the work then stop and say how much you admire their garden! Ask them about the plants – but don’t take too much of their time up! By making gardening friends you’ll find new people to get plants from and give your excess to!

Write a plan before you buy seeds. Otherwise you end up buying too many of the wrong sort of seeds. Remember rotating crops is good for the crops and the soil.

Grow your own herbs if you use a lot of them! Insects love flowering herbs so they have a dual role in the garden. Learn to preserve them too to get maximum yield from your plants.

Save pots for growing seeds in. Plastic pots and trays can be very useful. Don’t use ones that have had meat in though.

Scavenge old pallets to make a compost bin from. Spend time collecting leaves and compost them separately. Compost all your vegetable waste and lawn cuttings. You can make lots of compost at home and once you start you realise than every bin full of green waste that leaves your garden to the tip is a bad thing!

Woodland Strawberry – 1 packet (100 seeds) £1.89

Broad beans are so easy to grow. Just push them in the soil and they’ll come up! Plant in autumn and spring – the autumn planted ones will give you an early crop and the spring planted will produce after they’ve finished. This gives you a long season of broad beans!
