I've been using two methods firstly simply lift the whole lid up but you need either to get a hand or have the mix ready lift up with one hand and top up.
Second way you note a whole with a Cork in I've a stick I use like a dipstick so I xan fill through the wee hole and use the dipstick to...
Hi Guy's
This season as with each season has been an education I promised myself not to grow too many and as always I did. However it's allowed me to experiment with different idea's methods, pot sizes etc
This season I've finally got round to trying hydroponics the complicated mystical...

Hi Marc
Took these pics this morning they are "unwilted" but every day during the last week afternoon they both look pretty sorry for themselves and wilt badly but when you lift the pot they don't need water. And then spring back by next morning.
Like I said my broad leaved chinense don't...
Hi Guy's
The recent improved weather in Scotland has seen my automatic greenhouse window working over time and the need to side the door to its widest just to keep the temperatures below 40 oC !
In the mid to high 30's I.e 35 oC to 38 oC every thing seem OK but it's hit 39-40 oC and just...

Hi Guy's
2023 has turned into my search for early producing chinense varieties in my little Scottish greenhouse micro climate and short season...............
My original plan was to start all my chinense at the same time as to properly evaluate which will do best in my scenario and give me the...

Hi Guy's
Here in the UK live curry leaf trees are hard to get (often a waiting list) and ridiculously expensive 🤬
I bought 8 seeds (pre sprouted) from a gentleman in England for a very reasonable price and he supplied instructions I ended up with 6 or 7 seedlings :dance: I planted them in a...

Hi Guy's
This fella is a beast ! Month's younger than my other super hots and Naga's I'd heard it was vigorous but blooming heck ! This things grows !!
