Things I like using in the garden

Below you'll find a selection of items to use, books to read and seeds or plants to get that I use in the garden & greenhouse. Wheter it's something to use in a DIY project or to read up on various things, or even to wipe your feet and something to tackle slugs nicely - I got you covered.

All images are my own to show you that I really use it. Anything show has been used or tested before I recommend it to you.

A helpful little tool to help you figure out is the temperature is fluctuating too much between day and night, whether it's been below zero etc. You can set it to celsius or fahrenheit and you can even clear the latest recorder temperatures. It will display three temps at all times. The middle being the current temperature, the top shows how hot it has gotten to and the bottom shows how low the temperature has been.

One of the things I've found very effective in my ongoing battle with our slimy foes is this stuff, I got the concentrated version and just dilute as and when I need it. From what I understand is that this doesn't kill slugs, it just deters them - something unpleasant about it I guess. As it's safe to use it won't affect any predators of slugs either, and, it also ends up feeding the plants so triple win! I've used it on my dahlias, hostas & peas.

Slug Repelling Spray

Caribbean vibes anyone? These bamboo screens give a tropical vibe and protect everything inside the greenhouse against the scorching heat from the sun. Keep your greenhouse cool and look cool at the same time. Weather proof, you can control how much of the roof you expose, ideal!

If like me you suffer from slugs (or maybe even birds) from eating your fruit before you do, I would recommend using these organza bags. It takes a little to put them all on, but at the end you'll have perfect fruits wrapped as little gifts to pick. What's not to like?
