Harry, the Why Guy
Most garden problems make sense once you know what’s causing them, and that is the part I focus on.
I have a degree in Landscape Management and over 15 years of hands-on growing, in small city balcony containers and large perennial borders alike.
I use basic plant science to explain why plants behave the way they do, and I keep it in plain words with steps you can actually follow.
