By chance I happened to catch a snippet of gardeners question time on Sunday and have gone back and listened to the whole five minutes (from about 25 minutes in). There was a question/observation to the panel about how last year a veg gardener had found that his soil and plants did better when he didn’t weed.

I have no idea if they take letters/comments messaged in that can add in at the start of the next episode, but thought it was a prime opportunity if anyone felt like they had capacity to do a bit of educating.

Interesting Rachel - could be worth a go. We don't get radio reception up here, so I've given up on the radio a bit. Can you listen online without a license do you know, or is it just BBCiplayer?

Hello Nancy, I listen to GQT episodes on my browser - it works on Chrome, DuckDuckGo, Safari etc. You just need internet access.

What kind of corn soldier are you? And don't say "kernel" - that's only for this tiny ad:
