Tips & Advice:

Sowing Outdoors
Sow individual seeds 5cm deep and 15cm apart, in well-drained soil. Protect with cloches or fleece in cold weather. Broad beans are often sown in double rows about 25cm apart. Allow 45cm between each set of double rows. In raised beds, sow single rows 25cm apart.
Aftercare
Pinch out growing tips when in full flower to deter blackfly. Requires support. Keep well-watered, especially in dry spells and at the time of flower setting.
Advice
In cold areas, where the soil is poorly drained, or where there are mice, seeds can be sown 5cm deep in compost, in pots or module trays. Water well, keep in a light position and plant out from March after acclimatising to outdoor conditions.
Harvest
Pick the beans as young as possible for the best flavour. When very young, they can be cooked and eaten in their pods. Broad beans are delicious cooked, cooled and used in salads too.

Decorative Sand - Silver (650ml)

The postage cost was ridiculous, €9 to post within Ireland is scandalous. However, the sand itself was decent

Skimmia Japonica 'Passion' (3 Litre)
Efficient delivery

I purchased a pair of Simmia Japonica Passion from Newlands last month.
They were delivered within three days, so had them in time for the weekend. They were very well packaged which kept them safe during transit. They were a really healthy pair and are now thriving in the garden.

Venezuelan Suntiger Tarantula | Psalmopoeus irminia (S)
I loved the Venezuelan Suntiger Tarantula, Psalmopoeus irminia,

I loved the Venezuelan Suntiger Tarantula, Psalmopoeus irminia, that I bought from your website. I received excellent service at the store when I went to pick it up, and the employee working that day made herself available in case I had any questions. The tarantula was very healthy and beautiful. I’m very happy when I find well-cared-for animals with proper attention. Excellent.

Perfect, I got a new fish recently but within a couple of days I noticed white spots forming all over him. I found this treatment for such a reasonable price and decided to order it. It solved the problem in 3 days and now my fish is so happy.
