  • Can’t stand the new panelist’s voice

    Used to love listening to this podcast, but the accent and squeaky peppy pitch of the new panelist is awful to listen to. I’m sure she is a lovely person, but this is not a pleasant voice to listen to….not a voice for the radio and we can’t stand to listen any longer

    Love this show but not with Kathy clugston as chair. Peter Gibbs is just so much more professional & easy on the ear. Looks like now we are to be deprived of all old episodes sadly for the sake of the big dollar - or should I say pound!

    So DETEST the adverts!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Hertfordshire
Q: Bob, any tips for making soil health and watering easier for an allotment group?
Adopt no-dig principles, grow legumes to replenish nitrogen, and let root systems decompose to restore soil structure; keep the beds fixed to avoid soil compaction and improve year-round maintenance.
Hertfordshire
Q: Juliet, what do you think might be going on here?
Likely the greenhouse environment is artificial and requires careful watering and soil nutrients management to avoid rapid depletion, whereas outdoor conditions allow natural replenishment.
Chaldon
Q: Why are my brussels sprouts always small?
You might want to plant them smaller and also consider using nematodes for slugs, and ensure the soil is well-firmed.
Chaldon
Q: How can I divide the large named flower begonia corns?
You should wait until the tuber starts growing, then cut it down the middle ensuring each half has growth points, and let it dry before replanting.
Chaldon
Q: What exercises can I do so that I can reach the weed or plant the plant that my wife is pointing at in the garden without treading on the precious things all around it?
You can use upturned flower pots to cover small plants while you work, or consider using planks to help maintain balance and avoid damaging young shoots.
