In the Beechgrove Garden, our main lawn is suffering from erratic weather conditions.

Jim is giving the lawn a 'right good doing', as he would say, to improve drainage and to feed the lawn. He'll also take a look at the so called miracle substance for getting rid of moss, MO Bacter that we featured earlier in the series. We have had a huge response to this with viewers sending in emails and pictures of the success or lack of it of this substance.

Carole and Lesley look at plants for free by collecting a range of different seeds from the garden now and showing how to grow them on to fill the borders for next year. Carole is also with Drumblade Primary School this episode. The school's old sandpit is now full of non-native plants and some very invasive weeds. They would like to get rid of all of that and replace with bee and butterfly friendly plants. Carole gets to work and create a wee wildlife haven with the pupils.

In 1996 Beechgrove's Hit Squad helped to create the Kinross Potager Garden. 15 years on, Lesley has been invited back by Irene Thorogood who is the secretary of the Potager garden to have a look at how they have kept this going even in trying economic times. The group have charitable status and their aim is to generate a small income to help to educate the Kinross Primary schoolchildren in the art and science of gardening and to provide a community garden for all including those with disabilities and older people in the area. Lesley is delighted by what she finds.
