After advice from Dave T I microwaved a load of soil from my garden in order to kill off any white rot spores. It was a bit hit and miss to start with but I eventually settled on 8 and a half minutes at max power, simply because that's how long it took to kill a centipede!
I mixed 3 parts M3 and two parts cooked soil with some Q4 a couple of inches below the root ball. I also put some potash in the bottom layer of mix with a view to aiding ripening later in the season.
All in all it was a bit of a rush and my apologies to the plant supplier Helen, but i've now decided I won't be bothering trying to get a collection up at Malvern, therefore I shall just grow them to the best of my capabilities under the circumstances.
And I won't name all of you who have fallen for the April Fool's joke of the last post.....or will I?

I'm an idiot but only after mid-day so that doesn't count does it.
The 12 o'clock thing was introduced by idiots looking to excuse their gullibility!
