Armadillo Invasions & ‘Worta Featchas’: What went WRONG?
Water is a must-have in every garden, whether you've just got room for a pond in a pot or get to swim in your own backyard lake. Hosts James Alexander-Sinclair and Joe Swift have installed their fair share of water features - or 'worta feetchas' as they like to call them - so they share their water-related wisdom (and anecdotes of course) in this episode. And as usual they answer a clutch of listener questions, tackling the vexed issue of garden versus yard, which evergreens to plant in a cottage garden, and how to stop armadillos making mincemeat of your lawn. Plus it's time for an unexpected confession from our hosts about a horticultural faux-pas.
