Potting-up/ potting-on/ bumping-up are phrases often used to describe moving seedling to a larger volume of soil as they grow. This is important for two main reasons: 1) As you water a plant in a container, nutrients are used up by the plants and flushed out by the water. Giving the little plant a new refreshed batch of soil provides the additional nutrients it needs. 2) When plants are held in a pot or container for too long, the roots may begin to circle around the bottom of the container.

This is a more risky way of planting bare roots compared with potting them up and growing them on first, but it can be successful if done carefully! • the soil must be rich, crumbly and free of weeds. Ideally it should be free of larger plants which will compete with the new plants. • use multipurpose compost to fill the planting hole. It’s easier for the new roots to settle into. • leave the shoots of the bare roots exposed. • you can top-dress with the coir supplied in the packs to fill in any

Although it’s not a great time for gardening at the moment, it’s the perfect time for planning. Have a think about what was missing or didn’t look right in the garden last year. Now is the time to s

Farmer Gracy on Instagram: "For those still planting bulbs (we are!), here’s a quick guide to planting depths. It’s always quite straight forward with spring bulbs - dig a hole which is 2-3 times as deep as the bulb measures from top to bottom, pop the bulb in and cover it back over. That’s all there is to it! 🙌 . . . #plantingtips #gardeningtips #planttips #gardeningadvice #springbulbs #planting #plantingbulbs #gardening #wintergardening"
