Beechgrove Garden S46 E19 Episode 19

"Celebrating the great Scottish garden. Tips and advice to get the most out of your garden, with inspirational ideas from Scotland's most beautiful green spaces."

Bamboo is a very popular plant and a great way to create structure in gardens or to provide a screen from neighbours. However, it can be a huge problem if it starts to spread. Lizzie Schofield and Ruth Vichos take a look at the different varieties available, how to plant it and, most importantly, how to stop it taking over. The pair also demonstrate just what to do with a drumstick primula in a garden’s plant collection, and have a timely chat about a very common garden pest - slugs. There is also an update from George Anderson’s allotment as he reviews the impact the cold, wet, not-so-sunny growing season has had on his plot’s output.
