Hi All,

I have a quick question and i was hoping that someone can help me. I have just redone my garden and i was looking for a couple of plants to put there. I have seen a nice plant in homebase. The only trouble is that the label says that it is an indoor plant. My question is whether i can plant this outside and it would live or would it just die. If i do plant it outside would it be ok in the ground or would i need to add compost/feed to the soil to help it.

Thanks in advance for any help
Sorry i should have said. I live in Essex, which is in England, for the US people.

Im not sure what the plant is called, but i will try and have a look. I have had a quick look online and it looks like its from the palm family.

Not sure whether thats any help

    We bought our first composter recently, the Urban Compost Tumbler. While reading through the directions, I had a bit of confusion. It recommends fully loading the composter and not adding additional compostable materials once you’ve completed the initial load. I’m hoping to find out what other folks who use compost tumbler do to manage their compost queue.
    We only have one compost tumbler, and don’t plan on buying a second one. Is this a feasible approach? Do you just add new compost material to the tumbler frequently until you’re almost ready to harvest the compost? Do you keep it in a separate garbage can prior to putting it in the tumbler? Some other approach?
    In terms of the actual compost material, we’re pretty set, and already have our first batch.
    Your thoughts and input appreciated!

    I bought a soil with organic compost already in it. It says 6.4 ph and 15 percent per 100 grams is organic compost. I was planning on adding some of my own compost to the soil, but isn’t 15 % enough already??

    Thanks

    Some people say you have to let the air get in and others say you have to close it up in order for the heat to build up which hastens decomposition. Who is right?
    Also looking for ideas on
    *how to do a home made compost bin.
    *Steps in creating good compost.
    *how to attract worms
    *can I use chopped up twigs
    *should I mix soil in with the compost to hasten decomposition.
