Hi Dave wonder could you tell me how much water should I give my plants and how often should I feed and with what,I saw monty on tv a few days back he says seaweed liquid is good for them, whats your thoughts . My plants leaves are not dark green like yours,thanks
a good water a couple of times a week, maybe 3 if its very hot. Feed every one to two weeks and Seaweed is fine for this time of the year then use a Tomato feed when the buds start forming.
@@DaveGillamDahlias Thank you Dave I willl do that and fingers cross I have good blooms this time around.Last year was good colour but my problem was very short stems ...dont know what happened ta again
Hi dave ive got to grow some dahlias for my daughter's wedding on september 21st ive planted out 180 plants mainly exhibition varieties, do you think i would need to cover them like you do incase of rain ect spoiling the blooms? Also just wondered what spacing is the posts are on the cover, and do you have to concrete them in or just firm soil around them, i have 3x3 fence posts are they ok, also when does the cover need to go on like how long before picking? Many thanks, realky enjoy your videos 👍
Why are the support sticks tilted? Do you connect them with string later? Thanks.
Yes 2 more are added then tied around. Next video will show more. Tilted as plants get wider as they get taller.

Does the straw deter the slugs as I have trouble of them attacking my plants
I find it does help, but not a solution.
What straw should I be looking for Dave? I'm a little worried about bringing in a bunch of seed.
Barley straw is best. You may get some barley growing, but is easy to pull out.
