Episode 19
Calum and George tackle club root, a serious problem at Beechgrove. George also checks in on the main vegetable plot, gathering more produce for the kitchen, and Calum sows violas for autumn colour.
There is a serious problem at Beechgrove Garden, and Calum and George discuss what it is, the potential impact on the garden and how to deal with it. The problem is club root, a common soil-based disease that attacks the roots of many crops grown at Beechgrove. Currently it is in one area of the garden, so the team looks at ways to limit the disease's impact and how to stop it spreading.
George also checks in on the main vegetable plot, gathering more produce for the kitchen. Planning ahead, Calum sows violas for autumn colour. There is another report from Colin Crosbie’s plot just outside Dumfries and, as usual, the week’s handy hints.
