Stony Soil - A stony soil is usually well aerated and well drained. Many plants are quite happy in such soils, so provided there is ample soil the work entailed in sieving it is hardly warranted. If you are not pleased with the appearance of the small stones on the su... more Fungi - Fungus Diseases - Parasitic fungi are mostly microscopic. They invade higher plants and grow in their tissues (cells), which they kill and then absorb the contents for food. They penetrate and grow in the plant cells by means of fine fungal threads (hyphae), and spread f... more Composting - Many things can go into the compost heap: the vines of peas and beans, fresh hedge clippings, pea-pods, tea-leaves and coffee-grounds, banana peel, fluff from the vacuum cleaner, straw, lawn mowings, fallen leaves, and even well-soaked newspapers.
