Q.
Hi Tui Team, can I transplant a lavender that is being crowded and not doing too well? Also what would the best position be? Thank you, Sylvia.
A.
Yes, there is still time to transplant lavender. Cut it back by a third and plant it in full sun in well drained soil as they don’t like heavy clay soils. Try and remove as much of the root ball as possible so as not to disturb the roots too much.
Apply Seasol plant tonic before and after transplanting.

I have a large number of leaves from flax plants that I recently dug up. Would they slowly bio-degrade if buried or are they best taken to the tip?

Hi Terry, thank you for getting in touch. Yes, flax leaves are slow to decompose, it can take up to a year but they do eventually. If you dig the hole, lie them in it, then add a good amount of water, before covering up with soil it will speed up the process. Great question. Thanks, Tui Team.

I have Tomato plants in a greenhouse ,twice the hole around the plants filled with water slowly draining away,now the bottom leaves are going yellow is this the wetness the cause,if so how can I treat them please.

Hi Noeline, tomatoes like a moist soil but not wet, so drainage is vital. If you can now prevent the soil from becoming water logged do so. If you can’t, suggest you grow them into containers, this will make it easier to control watering. An application of Seasol once a month will help boost the root growth and improve the overall health of the plants. Thanks - Tui Team.
