Or I thought you would be using one arry? I just leave mine to it , tbh that’s probably where I’m going wrong lol ….

My kiwi is self fertilising(apparently) but I will try in the morning if there’s any left Indeed you can use a rabbit tail I'm told young one is best and have used them. A small model type paint brush is easier it store in a hole or pot. I use one for the Tomato's and another one for the Cucumbers I find it works well and kinda nice just pottering around in the green house. Cheers Arry 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
