Ep.28 - As we reach 10,000 Podcast downloads, Saul and Lucy answer a listener question on Greenhouse Temperature control and look at the ways in which they control pests trying to make a meal of their precious plants and produce...

As the Coronovirus pandemic has changed many aspects of life over the past three months, the gardens and green spaces all across the UK have continued in full glory over the spring - but Summer has arrived and for many the outdoors is the sanctuary from the continued uncertainty of what lies ahead. Head Gardeners Saul and Lucy have still been full at work at Stonelands and Easy Donyland (as well as their own gardens) and continue to share their lives as professional Horticulturists, there tips and tricks and their observations of their gardening lives.

Reaching 10,000 downloads for the podcast is something Saul and Lucy would never imagined when they set it up back in January, but so much has changed since then, and the pair want to thank everyone who have taken time out of their days to listen. In this episode we answer a question from one of our twitter follows in how we manage temperature in our greenhouses, very relevant in this recent hot spell - and then we go on to look at pest management in our gardens - both cultural, chemical and biological.

Also a really big thank-you to Katrina of the Home Grown Garden Youtube channel who plugged our podcast in her recent May Allotment vLog - we're really grateful and love the stuff you are doing - please do check out her videos: click here.
