Spring is just around the corner, and many Britons are starting to think about their outdoor spaces.
Whether planning to line up some potted plants on your flat’s windowsill or deciding which flowers you want to bloom in your garden, gardening fans are already making plans.

Not only does moss look messy, but it can also be very dangerous when it’s wet and slippery.
Lots of people immediately resort to using chemical weed killers – but these can be harmful to pets, and can spread to other plants.

She quickly received lots of suggestions – and there was one favourite solution mentioned by several different people.
A woman commented: “Sprinkle cheap washing powder when the ground is dry.
“I used a box of biodegradable washing powder. Just sprinkle over the moss and leave! That was two years ago and it’s never returned.”
Another commented: “Washing powder all the way, it is a brilliant hack I got taught it by my neighbour.”
A third wrote: “Washing powder, and you’ve probably already got it in your cupboard, requires no scrubbing.”
