    Appreciate it mate, I'm taking all suggestions. It's going to cost a small fortune and there's no guarantees it'll work but I'm risking it so all advice is welcome.

    Was an Ocado depot shared with Morrisons. The second time an Ocado depot has gone up in smoke due to the robots. Amazing stuff though watching them, fooking hundreds of the fookers on a grid.

    I've gone into clothing now, but they have expanded massively, with the dot com ****....People buying random **** online, it's a lot of automated ****, and it looks ****.

    Think i'll stick to the retail part for now...But gonna have to buy a home gym, i'm getting a bit podgy and slow.

    From what ive seen, lot of online stuff all coming from China. I've even bought some reasonably expensive products recently, requested gifts, only to be surprised when it turns up and says 'made in china' I'm like wtf.

    Like i've said mate, i've moved into clothing, so i get to see all the boxes, and a vast majority comes from Cambodia or Turkey.

    It's quiet sad really.

    I've said it for a long time mate, we need to go back to making our own produce, especially if they really serious about this global warming.

    Anyway, did you know it's supposed to be plastic free July, this month!? Well some fooker should tell the supemarkets, because you try buying stuff not in plastic.

    Depending on the disease you have how it's treated, plenty of help out there, once you know what you're dealing with.
    Once had a problem with a plum tree, fruit off it was delicious so didn't want to lose it, tried everything recommended for a couple of years but still kept getting mould on the fruit, was going to dig it out when an old fella told me to give it a good cut back and soak the soil about a metre round it with salt water once a week for a month in autumn, then spray the leaves in the spring twice with salt water, a week apart, second year now and no mould, you don't find that out on the net.

    That must have been recently as I had a delivery from them on Thursday and when I checked my account there was a message saying some deliveries might be rescheduled due to an incident with a warehouse. I knew it wasn't up here like as my delivery came an hour early.

    About just over a week ago. It was the Erith depot mate, so I think that's classed as South or East London. Although I think the stuff then goes out to Fulfilment Centres, but I've no idea of the geographical area that covers.

    Yeah mould spores can lie dormant in cool temperatures and I'm guessing as they were seemingly in the soil and shaded that's how its kept coming back and effecting your crop. I learned that when I first starting growing cannabis, didn't disinfect the room or anything after my first attempt was covered in mould. Next time I started to grow them I learned the fans in the room had been circulating the dormant mould spores around the room and straight on to my next crop :headbang:

    Do you grow anything else? I've got some blueberries which I'm harvesting most days at the moment and putting them in my fruit salads. They were a nightmare learning to grow because of their love for acidic soil so getting that right was a bit of a nightmare and I had the PH flucuating all over trying to keep that down but I got there eventually. I've got them spot on now like.

    Can't beat the taste of your own fruit and veg, woth the effort mate

    Also got Cherry, virtually no crop this year, greengage, apple, pear, do jam from backberries and gooseberries, winter veg, Kale last year was superb, got 2 blueberry bushes had a good crop last year, they're a late fruiter, early September, put loads of ericaceous fertiliser around the base this spring for reasons you stated. Use our own herbs in our cooking too, easy to grow and taste so much better fresh, do a nice hot drink from the lemon balm, easy to make, nice if it's left to cool too. MakevQuince marmalade in the autumn too

    Pretty sure it's Boxbite which is easier to deal with (not the Honey Fungus otherwise I'd be fcked). I could get away with not changing the soil but might as well go the extra mile and do it right once and for all. Ordered the fungicide which looks like some industrial ****e. Then next year going to plant this strain of hedge called Heritage which has been bred/engineered to resist Boxbite. And of course source some horse **** now <laugh>

    Make sure it's well rotted, or the piss in it can damage roots of the new stuff, at least 6 months under cover.
    Then feed it with Buxus feed, if the hedge is evergreen..
