ASK GARDENZINE: PAST QUESTIONS

I have just taken on an allotment. I've prepared the soil but I've missed the planting times for most vegetables. Is there anything I can put in now that will give me a crop?


When I lifted our picnic blanket from the lawn there were a load of grey maggots wriggling about on the grass. What are they and will they do any harm?


In your article on lawn drainage (read article here) you mentioned waving coil. My builder's merchant has never heard of it.

I wondered if you could give me some advice regarding how to approach pruning my eucalyptus tree.

I planted 10 Leylandii last year side by side, and was wondering when I should trim the top of them, to let them grow out the way.. they were planted when they were about 3 - 4 feet and they are now about 6 - 7 feet.
