Q&A time again! Who will be this month’s lucky winner of the fabulous prize donated by The Plant Runner?

• Camellias can be moved during Winter months by pruning back by around ⅓, carefully digging out and feeding with a specialised, acidic potting mix
• Fig trees can be pruned in Winter to back to your preferred size by cutting back to the nearest node. Feed with Neutrog Gyganics       
• Ash from the fire can be either put into the compost or applied to the garden (best before rain) and can be a pest deterrent for slugs and aphids
• Lemon not fruiting heavily? Could be lack of sun and warmth. 
• Transplanting a lemon tree. Can be cut back by at about ⅓. Dig down 30-45cm under the roots and transplant into a well-composted spot or into a pot with specialised citrus potting mix. Seasol will help stimulate root growth
• Beans not germinating. Try soaking in water with diluted Seasol. Plant at recommended time of year.
• Olive trees are very hardy and a hedge can be maintained by cutting back to your preferred height regularly.
• Transplanting an Acacia could be risky (natives are notoriously difficult to transplant). 

Thank you for your great questions again!
