Jimmy's food factory
I don't know if anyone watched this last night, he visited a
Raspberrie grower who was growing in tunnels, all the plants were growing in what looked to be large bucket size pots, I presume this stops the plants suckering all over the place. For pest control he went through quite quickly with a hot air blower blasting out air at 100c through the plants, Interesting. David Hill |

, Dave Hill writes I don't know if anyone watched this last night, he visited a Raspberrie grower who was growing in tunnels, all the plants were growing in what looked to be large bucket size pots, I presume this stops the plants suckering all over the place. I tried growing raspberries 1) in sunken pots. This doesn't stop them suckering. 2) in standing pots. This requires too much time to be spent on feeding and watering (and when I don't do I get a poor crop). Presumably this grower has a system for feeding and watering.

David Hill I find it amazing that plants can withstand that blast and yet the pests were presumably blown away. I enjoyed it more when they said that they didn't know how it worked so i wonder who had the bright idea in the first place? -- Janet Tweedy Dalmatian Telegraph http://www.lancedal.demon.co.uk |

So next time your house plants have aphids it will be out with the hair dryer. I think it not only blew them away, they suggested the sudden blast of heat killed the pests. As long as it's not a special plant it might be worth a try, especially for those difficult to get rid of greenhouse whitefly. Mind you it will just be more confirmation to the neighbours if they see me with a hairdryer marching towards my greenhouse. :-( -- Regards Bob Hobden W.of London. UK |

In article , Martin
writes How do you dry the cat? :-) They used to scarper when the I let my dogs out so no worries on that front! Well yesterday morning I had a fox starting intently into the patio windows from 4 feet up the patio and it did not move in spite of me shouting and charging at it. So I got a jug of cold water and threw it over him. It seemed the only thing to make him bother, Wish I still had my dogs! Though i suppose if i had let both of them out at the same time then that would have constituted 'hunting' and been considered illegal. -- Janet Tweedy Dalmatian Telegraph http://www.lancedal.demon.co.uk |

writes We've seen them in surrounding fields and lanes but not, until now, in the garden so this one is one of the bolder type. Just make sure you m your dogs with the mange wormer Sacha. It's a bit more powerful but it offsets both mange and heartworm. It's the stronger Frontline one -- Janet Tweedy Amersham Gardening Association http://www.amersham-gardening.net |

It only takes a fraction of a second to heat up the mass of water inside of an insect to a temperature that would kill it. It takes considerably longer to heat up the mass water inside a plant (leaf) to a temperature where it would cause damage. -- Alan news2009 {at} admac {dot} myzen {dot} co {dot} uk |
