A month or so back I was really keen to get some Africans, but most places seemed to be out of worms. I think your site was one of the first I...
10cm is ample. I've filled the tub close to the top, which initially would have been around 10cm of water, but as the growing medium continues to...
Took a picture of the bed a couple of weeks ago. Plants have since grown a fair bit more.
Hey Sweetpea. I'll see if I can find out. I know I got my original seedstock (just a few bulbs) from my parents who had some friends who had...
