Bob’s top tips for the week

1

Be snugger, cosier and quieter in your shed by hanging carpet on the walls and roof, even on the floor.

2

It’s still okay to take cuttings of easy subjects like buddleija, roses, currants and gooseberries, so have a go now.

3

Keep a full watering can near a radiator so house plants get less of a shock when you water them.

4

Eject all rotters from your stored crops then put down mousetraps with apples and slug traps with potatoes – or even both.
