Bamboo is a very popular plant and a great way to create structure in gardens or to provide a screen from neighbours. However, it can be a huge problem if it starts to spread. Lizzie Schofield and Ruth Vichos take a look at the different varieties available, how to plant it and, most importantly, how to stop it taking over. The pair also demonstrate just what to do with a drumstick primula in a garden’s plant collection, and have a timely chat about a very common garden pest - slugs.\n\nThere is also an update from George Anderson’s allotment as he reviews the impact the cold, wet, not-so-sunny growing season has had on his plot’s output.\n\nPlus all the usual handy hints.
