As for broad bean any way to stop pea weevil? Sitona lineatus They are reducing my yield alot I reckon as the grubs eat the roots apparently. Last few yrs really wrecked the beans compared to how they were previously.

I bet majority of the goverment atm would be the same. Sometimes the stupidity or ignorance still surprises me also. One thing iv'e noticed recently is some people who have no concept of the interaction of plants with weather/seasonality. Still watering plants when its just being raining and the grounds sodden because thats whats one does? No concept of grass growing faster in spring than winter so might need cut more, & that plants & veg are controlled by seasons. Wondering why tomatoes or apples etc aren't ripe now etc if they can buy them in tesco?

I use my green waste bin as a water butt Alot better than most water buts as top is wide enough you you can dip a watering can in, unlike most others that are too narrow. Also thoose cheap plastic taps at the bottom of bought butts are totally useless imo as they takes ages to fill a watering can and break easy as the plastic gets brittle. Having say 10 or 20 bins daisy chained etc would be even more useful to store more water. Reuse is more eco than recycle

They white wash alot of trees in some countries I assume against sunscald or pests or both. I dunno how effective it is but doesn't seem to be harmful. Loads of white washed trees in France & Greece etc both street trees and orchards.

Population increase but also... The large number of second homes etc increases each yr Also there are less council houses available every yr, right to buy etc... Homelessness increases.... Where will it end no idea but maybe gradually get more like USA where they have huge homeless shanty towns in some places. No UK politcal party seem willing to tackle the issue.

Its what happens naturally with pines esp if shaded If you like you could trim the dead branches off it won't regrow ever at the bottom
