  • Armadillo Invasions & ‘Worta Featchas’: What went WRONG?
    Water is a must-have in every garden, whether you've just got room for a pond in a pot or get to swim in your own backyard lake. Hosts James Alexander-Sinclair and Joe Swift have installed their fair share of water features - or 'worta feetchas' as they like to call them - so they share their water-related wisdom (and anecdotes of course) in this episode. And as usual they answer a clutch of listener questions, tackling the vexed issue of garden versus yard, which evergreens to plant in a cottage garden, and how to stop armadillos making mincemeat of your lawn. Plus it's time for an unexpected confession from our hosts about a horticultural faux-pas.

  • Keep sh*te out of sheds
    Is your shed filled with the junk you can't bear to throw away, or is it a neat and tidy temple to all things horticultural? Hosts James Alexander-Sinclair and Joe Swift chat about the world of garden structures, from how many sheds is too many, to the tricky topic of why men seem obsessed with them. Plus they answer your questions, including sage advice for people with new gardens; whether goldfish in a pond are bad for the environment, and why battery farming for fruit trees is ok.
