bobcullen79 1,495 Posted March 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 Very nice mate ive never kept one alive never mind flower , I was a bit disappointing with them as well trying to catch a fly to feed it and what a let down I killed one as a kid, couldnt catch a fly, so I fed it some ham.. It didnt like it I was thinking "meat eater" I see theres a few horticulturist`s on here, fair play lads. As for the kettle`d water, Ive been using fresh rain water, seeing as we`ve had plenty, now its dried up, I`ll go back to the kettle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobcullen79 1,495 Posted March 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 sling it in the bin and get your self some tomatoes Bob Yeah, we got all that bud. Done her some tubs and raised beds a few years back, taught her some of what I know and now I leave her to it The sill`s are full of trays which all look like cress at the minute.. She come in crying last year, Me in a panic asked whats up, "the pigeons have eaten all my peas sprout" FFs 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobcullen79 1,495 Posted March 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 From about november to march just put em in the shed to go dormant. Fetch em out about this time of year. Trim the dead back then they should thrive. Soil is more important than actual insects/flies. to water i just use twice boiled water from the kettle. What type of soil then stabbs? Something peat based, high acidity? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Something peat based, high acidity? Peat moss and perlite 1-1 ratio. Never feed the plant..ie miracle grow or owt like that(fertilizer and such) They get the nutrients they need from the soil alone. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
