My plastic greenhouse (Wilco) tok a buffering, even in my secluded

So much so, all my trays of seedlings were thrown to the floor. Lost a

of peas and toms. Most annoying, my sweetcorn (indoors) all suddenly

over and died. Tips of leaves brown, base of stems transparent. Too
much/little water? Thoughts?

Allotment probably needs double digging where water is standing.


Ours has a thick layer of clay under it...
Someone brave dug a big hole and then tried digging through the clay.
He gave up. Needs a digger to have a go ... or drains putting in.

Same here, very heavy clay. A foot down never dry.
