    japanese knotweed issues

    Are you obliged to hire a professional if there is Japanese knotweed in your garden? I do not have this issue as of now but a neighbour had a problem with it before and I’ve heard of a few other people in the area experiencing issues with Japanese knotweed so I thought I would ask in advance should it happen to appear in my back garden. What else must I do in this scenario? I am aware of course that you must not cut it but what else must I do and must I not do if it ever pops up?

    Growing vegetables in the UK

    I live in a mountainous area of Scotland. I have been reading up on vegetables that can be grown in the UK. Will these vegetables apply to me? I live about 250 metres above sea level. Are there plants that most people in the UK will be able to grow that I won’t? Or should vegetables like beans, beetroot, carrots and cabbage grow in my garden no problem?

    what plants to put in a rockery?

    I've unearthed an old rockery underneath some brambles in my garden. I'd like to restore it but I'm not sure what to plant in it. It's in a semi-shaded area with a bit of a slope. The stones are there but not much else.
