Midwest Radio Gardening Show

This week's gardening programme got underway with a discussion on the GroMor initiative which aims to encourage younger adults to take up gardening. Paraic also highlighted new EU legislation due to come into effect later in the year in relation to the use and purchase of herbicides. Listeners questions featured how to plant up and maximise growth on trailing petunias, the benefits of double layering seed potatoes, pruning and feeding fruit bushes & trees, the use of nematodes for controlling soil borne pests and tips for planting up strawberries for summer fruit.
