Description
Kathy Clugston lifts the lid on the GQT archive, in search for some advice on gardening in containers, pots and hanging baskets. Gardening in pots and containers has become more of a hot topic in recent years and the GQT panellists have dished out their fair share of advice on it. The programme's horticultural experts share their knowledge on the potted plants that can be grown on the roof of a narrow boat, the type of pot that can prevent frost damage to a plant, and whether liquid sheep manure is a sufficient feed for tomatoes and pot plants? Later we hear a fiery debate between Bill Sowerbutts and Dr Tom Rochford on the differences between houseplants and potted plants. Producer: Bethany Hocken Assistant Producer: Rahnee Prescod
 Executive Producer: Carly Maile A Somethin' Else production for BBC Radio 4
