The Clay Breaker could be your knight in shining armour if a heavy clay garden soil has almost convinced you to throw in the gardening towel; this pelleted, organic soil additive rides to the rescue in autumn and turns sticky, unworkable and often compacted clay soil into a more manageable growing medium.

The agent in the clay breaker makes the soil easier to work and improves drainage and can be applied to lawns as well as vegetable plots, allotments and herbaceous borders; simply scatter the pellets onto a roughly dug plot in autumn and enjoy cultivating your soil in the following seasons.

Supplied in a 2.5kg box, the clay breaker won't affect the soil ph and can be used as a top dressing on lawns, also in autumn.

The Green Start Coir Pot Set is the epitome of recycling and if you're at all interested in the welfare of the planet (along with the success of your seedlings and young plants) then these coir pots are the place to start.

Manufactured to provide ethically based employment to people in Sri Lanka, the coir is a waste product from coconut processing and will only be with you for a short while before the 12 green start root runner tapered pots and 6 round pots (4cm diameter) break down and return to the soil!

And it's not only pots you get in your Green Start Coir Pot Set; the kit also contains coir discs so you won't need compost and carrying/seed sowing trays, made out of - you've guessed it - coir! All the pots will slowly biodegrade in the soil after a few weeks (adding invaluable organic matter to the soil from which they came from) and as a result, are ideal for starting off seedlings which don't like having their roots disturbed and for avoiding transplant shock.

Roots of plants are 'air pruned' as they push their way through the coir pots, leading to a strong and well-developed root system and with the tapered pots proving tailor-made for tap rooted seedlings (beans and peas for example), the Green Start Coir Pots represent recycling in its purest form and will make a big impression in the short time they are with you!

Sturdy legs and feet, steel handles mounted on the main body of the incinerator and lid - which also boasts a chimney - take care of the safety side of things and the greedy 45cm diameter swallows up all manner of branches, diseaesd plant stems, fruit and even sensitive mail.

Gardeners have been using lime for years to improve soil conditions and this natural ingredient really is the key to quality soil - for not only does the application of lime raise the PH level of the soil, it improves the crumb structure in heavy soils and in itself is a form of calcium.

The J Arthur Bowers world renowned Garden Lime we stock is supplied in a 3kg box (coverage 30m²), is made from ground limestone and should be applied in late autumn or early winter when the ground is frost free. Use garden lime on particularly acidic soils each year - neutral soil will benefit from an application every 3 years - by scattering over the soil surface and forking in well, and don't forget to treat your brassica plot with garden lime too as a higher PH will help discourage club root.

Sent like an angel to help tomato, pepper and growbag plant growers all over the country, the 29cm diameter Plant Halos encourage two sets of roots to develop - and that often means double the yield of fruit from your plants.

Incredibly simple yet stunningly effective, each halo (available in red or green and supplied in packs of 3) is pushed into a planting hole cut in the plastic skin of a grow bag and has features a watering moat around the outside of the central planting hole; just top this outer ring up with water, apply liquid feed to the centre hole and the two sets of roots which develop - water and feed searching - will do the rest! Six hollow plastic spikes reach down into the grow bag soil and send the 3 litres of water the moat can hold right where it's required, taking 3-5 hours to empty the reservoir. No more flooding your growbag and washing out soil; these heaven-sent halos will tidy your grow bag growing operation right up and with colour coded cane tops also available to hold your plant supporting bamboo canes (not supplied) firmly in position, your greenhouse, patio, decking, roof terrace or decking will never have looked so good.

There's even a set of plastic mesh cover grids available for the plant halos - ideal to prevent leaves and debris from falling into the watering ring or if you find wild animals, birds or pets are drinking the water intended for your tomatoes!

Extra Value Offer! Green and Red Plant Halo & Cane Cape Sets also available in Packs of 6, saving you £2!

Compost in comfort with the double chamber 175 Litre Tumbling Composter and 'revolutionise' your garden and growing at the same time by producing valuable, well rotted compost much faster than a traditional heap.

The 72cm wide, 95cm high by 66cm deep rugged UV stabilised plastic drum is easy to assemble and sits securely on the steel frame and the sliding front panel reveals two 87 litre chambers; one for filling and the other one for decomposing, allowing you to continue filling the tumbler whilst creating your compost, an attribute not many composters can boast.

Rotating the tumbling composter drum is much easier than turning a heap; there are adjustable air vents on each side and tough internal churning paddles thoroughly mix the contents on each turn - home composting has never been so easy!

Quality seed trays are the mainstay of any greenhouse and garden and when they're as durable as the trays included in the 24 Cell Self Watering Seed Success Kit, and are complimented by a clear propagation cover, layer of capillary matting, inner platform and 10 day water reservoir, then it becomes clear how the seed sowing success kit got its name.

The injection moulded, 24 cell seed tray is where the action's at and will last for years - you can even sterilise them in a dishwasher - whilst the clear lid will create the perfect conditions for seed germination. Over - or a lack of - watering is one of the major causes of seedling fatalities but with a section of capillary matting on board and drawing water from the base reservoir, your seedlings and young plants will find conditions underfoot just to their liking.

And when you consider all moulding components in the 24 cell self watering seed success kit are guaranteed for 10 years and (with the exception of the capillary matting and clear cover) are made from 100% recycled plastic, it's clear this seed sowing and watering kit is a success in every way.

Packaged like wine in a box and equally as palatable to fruit trees, bushes and vegetable plants, these completely organic EM Liquid Feeds bring together all the best micro-organisms and substances nature can muster to form a potent barrier against pests and diseases, whilst seriously fertilising and boosting the general health of your plants at the same time.

Containing the same highly impressive formula which makes our other EM products so effective, the 2 litre vacuum sealed and boxed bags of EM liquid (there's even a fitted tap to drain off every last valuable drop) can be diluted to cover 100m² and diluting 50mls in 5 litres of water will cover 10m².

Continued use of the EM liquid feeds should see improved resistance to pests and diseases and the preventative spraying of both the fruit and vegetable liquid feeds (start early in the season for best results) will help form a natural barrier to pests. Both EM liquid feeds have a 12 month shelf life.

Introduce a strict door policy to your Beepol Bumblebee Lodge with the Wax Moth Prevention Kit, a simple screw-on security measure which protects your bees from this natural predator.

Prevention is definitely better than cure in the case of the wax moth with treatment of moth-infested hives proving very difficult at best and in some cases impossible, but the clever wax moth prevention kit 'bee flap' ensures the adult moths remain safely outside the hive.

Keeping your quarry a full 65cm away, the push-button vacuum system hoovers up spiders and other unwanted insects unharmed and is even fitted with a turbo boost - not for tarantulas but for pests who have found the perfect hiding place in an inaccessible corner.

Organic Adam's Pearmain Dessert Apple Trees are a throwback to Victorian times when apples were grown for their taste rather than appearance and the distinctive 'pearmain' shaped fruit produced by both the semi-dwarfing and moderate vigour versions of this cultivar gives the tastebuds a real treat!

Unfortunately you'll need to be patient to sample the aromatic and 'nutty' taste of Adam's Pearmain as this late season dessert apple matures in October - but on the plus side, the fruit will store right through the winter until March. Supplied as a feathered maiden whip, Adam's Pearmain apple trees fall into pollination group B, are supplied on semi-dwarfing and moderate rootstocks and are also suitable for training as cordons or espaliers.

Organic Adam's Pearmain Dessert Apple Trees are despatched in bare-root form between November and March.

We've Dr Ashmead to thank for organic Ashmead's Kernel dessert apple trees and the crisp, acid flavour the unassuming apples posess so if you're looking for a tasty and traditional dessert apple variety for your back garden, look no further!

Organic Ashmead's Kernel Dessert Apple Trees are available on both semi-dwarfing and moderately vigorous rootstocks to suit gardens of all sizes; the variety falls into pollination group D; this taste bud-trembling late season ripener can be picked during October and given the correct conditions will store right through until February. You can also grow this versatile variety - which originated in Gloucestershire around 1700 - as a cordon or espalier!

But the organic Ashmead's Kernel dessert apple CV doesn't end there! Good disease resistance is another reason for creating an opening in your orchard for this variety and if you can see past the dull yellowish-green with brown russet appearance, the flavour will reward you well!

Organic Ashmead's Kernel Dessert Apple Trees are despatched in bare-root form between November and March.

Introduce a touch of the Mediterranean to your garden or orchard with the Organic Lescovaka Quince Tree, grown on a moderately vigorous rootstock and likely to reach around 4-5 metres in height.

Lescovaka quinces are large and shaped like apples and this hardy variety will be perfectly at home in your orchard with its spreading, drooping habit. You can enjoy the attractive, large white pink flushed flowers in spring and the ripened fruit in October but as our climate isn’t warm enough to fully ripen the fruits, you’ll need to get cooking before you eat!

Plant your self-fertile Organic Lescovaka Quince Tree in a sheltered, sunny spot and avoid waterlogged soils for the best results.

Organic Lescovaka Quince Trees are despatched in bare-root form between November and March.

Introduce a touch of the Mediterranean to your garden or orchard with the Organic Vranja Quince Tree, grown on a moderately vigorous rootstock and likely to reach around 4-5 metres in height.

Vranja quinces are large and coloured pale green before ripening yellow and this hardy variety will be perfectly at home in your orchard with its spreading, drooping habit.

Organic Vranja Quince Trees are despatched in bare-root form between November and March.

Our Organic Merryweather Damson Tree bridges the small gap between damsons and plums as this popular variety is in fact a cross between a Damson and a plum, typically displayed by its round oval blue to black fruits.

Organic Merryweather Damson Trees are supplied on St Julien A rootstocks and the maiden supplied trees develop into moderately vigorous, 4 to 5.5m high specimens; you can expect to harvest the green/yellow fleshed, sweet fruits the young trees produce in September. Merryweather is a damson variety which doesn't store well so you can enjoy eating the fruits immediately after picking or turn them into jams, jellies, chutneys, wine and Damson Gin.

Plant your Organic Merryweather Damson Tree in full sun - they are tolerant of most soil types provided they are well drained - prune between April and September (as with all stone fruit) and enjoy a harvest year after year!

Organic Merryweather Damson Trees are despatched in bare-root form between November and March.

The large, dark red sweet cherries produced by Organic Summer Sun Cherry Trees bring a real taste of most people’s favourite season when they’re ready for picking in mid July.

Organic Summer Sun Cherry Trees are self fertile and will flourish in a sunny location and as these bare-rooted, maiden trees are grown on the semi dwarfing Gisela 5 rootstock, they'll produce more than manageable bush trees and are ready-made for fan training along a south facing wall or fence. Suitable for growing in most of the UK, don't forget to prune your Summer Sun cherry trees shortly after harvest to avoid the unwanted spread of the silverleaf disease. Netting your organic Summer Sun cherries will protect the fruits from birds, meaning more of these garden gastronomic treats for you and your kitchen!

Organic Summer Sun Cherry Trees are despatched in bare-root form between November and March.

Due to overwhelming demand, we’ve sold right out of this variety of fruit tree but we are still taking forward orders which we will be despatching from mid November 2012.

Just as welcome in the garden as the bird of the same name, Organic Blue Tit Plum Trees produce medium sized, dense blue plums which are suitable for cooking and eating.

Grown on a St Julien A rootstock, the moderately vigorous blue tit plum trees are likely to reach a size between 3.6 and 5.5m metres, a far cry from the easy to care for and plant maidens they are supplied as. Blue tit plums are juicy and well flavoured, the yellow flesh contrasts well with the blue skin and crops - expect to harvest in mid-August - are heavy and reliable. A great variety for the garden, organic blue tit trees are self fertile and although you only need one, you'll probably want more!

Organic Blue Tit Plum Trees are despatched in bare-root form between November and March.

Get your plum picking season off to a flying start with Organic Early Prolific Plum Trees; just like their name suggests, they're heavy croppers and you could be harvesting your first fruits as early as July.

And although you'll have to wait until Early Prolific plums are ripe before tucking into them, you can certainly get to work in the kitchen making plum sauces and jam. The price you have to pay for this early plum crop is poor storage quality - all the more reason to enjoy them immediately!

The all important Early Prolific plums are oval in shape, have dark blue skin and a golden yellow flesh and as the organic Early Prolific plum trees are supplied on moderately vigorous St Julien A rootstocks, picking isn't gloing to be a problem! As Early Prolific isn't a self fertile variety, you will need to introduce a pollinating tree from groups C or E (Early Prolific falls into pollination group D) to ensure your tree is brimming with those early season plums!

Organic Early Prolific Plum Trees are despatched in bare-root form between November and March.

Herons aren't usually welcome visitors to the garden - especially if you have a well stocked fish pond - but the Organic Heron Plum Trees will prove a popular addition to your orchard or garden fruit growing area.

Bred on the famous Rivers Nursery in Hertfordshire, Heron plum trees produce large, long oval shaped fruit ready for harvesting in August; cropping is reliable and as Heron falls into pollination group B, you'll need a variety from groups A, B or C to ensure these August harvested plums are in plentiful supply.

Organic Heron plum trees are raised on moderately vigorous St Julien A rootstocks and the fruit is purple skinned with a greenish yellow flesh.

Organic Heron Plum Trees are despatched in bare-root form between November and March.

Widely grown across the UK and Europe, Comice pears are medium to large in size, dripping with juice when harvested in October and will store through to November. The organic Doyenne du Comice pear trees we supply are grown on both semi-dwarfing (Quince C) and moderately vigorous (Quince A) rootstocks, giving you plenty of scope with planting and eventual training and spread of the trees. This extremely popular pear tree variety falls into pollination group D (the equally well know Concorde is an excellent pollinating partner) and Doyenne du Comice is perfectly suited to training as a cordon or espalier.

Organic Doyenne du Comice Trees are despatched in bare-root form between November and March.

It'll be onward to delicious pears with Organic Onward Pear Trees, which produce delightful fruit rivalling Comice for taste, flavour and juice content.

Originating from Wisley, a real hotbed of horticultural activity, Onward pear trees fall into pollination group C which means you'll need varieties from groups B and D (but not Doyenne du Comice - its one of Onward's parents) to set a crop - and like all pears, Onward will pay you back in pears if you provide a sunny location. Onward fruit is medium sized with yellow/green skin and a mouth watering creamy, white white flesh which melts in the mouth - and as the maiden trees we supply are grown on moderately vigorous Quince A rootstocks, they'll be plenty of that delicious fruit for you to consume. And on the subject of picking pears, Onward fruit ripens in September and will store through to October under the correct conditions.

Organic Onward Pear Trees are despatched in bare-root form between November and March.
