Keep a bucket by the back door to use whenever you have a spare 10 minutes. This is enough time to do some spot weeding or to tie in new shoots.
The bucket should contain a handfork, a kneeling pad and garden gloves for weeding, plus string and a knife for tying in.

I was always making notes on scraps of paper about tips and facts I'd read in books and magazines, seen on the Internet or on TV. So this is my paperless filing system for all those bits of information I want to access easily. (Please note: I live in the UK, so any financial or legal information relates only to the UK.)
