It's in just well composted soil same as the rest of our plants I would be tempted to put a few handfuls of ericaceous compost around it bit of low nitrogen fertilizer and water it in so to fool the plant first

So do mine, I'd feel bad putting nothing out but do have a row of blackberry hedging. When I found the dying pigeon earlier this year I suspect it had Trichomoniasis (aka canker) the lady from the wildlife rescue thought it might be that. I alternate my feeders outside, forever cleaning them but that's a good point Michael's made about them heating up/bacteria. The infection I mentioned is horrid. I'm going to just use my coconut shells that have suet in for now and not put mealworm, or anything else in the feeders. I'll keep them for winter.

I would suggest raising the plant in the tub its way to low for a low plant mix in plenty of sharp sand and grit as in planters the soil can get sodden over winter

Good suggestion. Next dry day my body wants to play ball with, I'll get it up and aerated etc

You could always have a look at the root system and chop it right down to the crown and its a big maybe it may reshoot again

I think that's the direction I'll take, the soil seems very wet after yet another awful winter.
There doesn't seem to be excessive yellowing of the leaves so will give it some love, take it right back and then it's got 2 choices. Either it will or it won't. I think I'm more sentimental about plants that have always done well then struggle, than I am about people …

A very upset Kent farmer on Newsnight there, he might be leaving fields unsown this year, because he has no idea how much fertiliser will cost, and indeed, if any can be got in the first place.
I have said before about farmers and their subsidies, but this might be a real problem going forward.

I should have said, this is in relation to the closed Straits of Hormuz. Being a journalist, Victoria Derbyshire was ramping up the potential threat to food security.

He mentioned £450 a tonne. Would that be last years price, or what he fears?

fertilizer will be in high demand now because the farmers who dont pre order at last years prices and half pay for it then the rest on delivery are costing the distributors money and someone has to pay extra it will drift on down to the consumers in the end

A couple of months ago, on a field near me, they tipped what looks like hundreds of bales of maybe last seasons fodder, but have just left it in 4 large piles.
Is ot expected that the wind will distribute it all about, or more likely to be used as mulch when a crop starts growing? I doubt i will get any answers if I shout at the nearest tractor!

i expect it will be spread and ploughed back in as natural fertilizer back when i was a lad there would be hundreds of piles of winter fym tipped with horse and cart to be spread on the fields by hand the good old days haha

Ah, so fym - farm yard manure? 3 Hi Lux with Ifor Williams were on site when the piles appeared. I take it a machine will be used to mix it into the soil in due course? I just heard of side slingers on a farmer forum, and chain harrow drags.

Ah it will be spread all over then ploughed in as organic fertilizer ⁰
