A rose on its last legs looking healthy again a month later, strawberry beds protected for years: the five-star reviews for these live nematodes read well. But they come with conditions: fridge storage with a tight use-by window, and soil warm enough for the worms to move. Here is what decides which camp your pots land in.
One buyer is on their third order of three bags at a time. Another poked drainage holes into theirs with a stick and watched her plants sulk for three weeks. Growmoor's 40L multi-purpose compost inspires serious loyalty, so what separates a brilliant bag from a bad one?
A capful a week keeps a hot tub clear for months, yet a full bottle poured into an already-green pool sometimes achieves nothing at all. The gap between Clearwater Algaecide's five-star loyalists and its one-star refund seekers comes down to timing, and to a date stamped on the bottle.

Some buyers say it matches their Alexa to within half a degree. Others swear it reads ten degrees too warm. We went looking for what separates the happy owners from the furious ones, and found the answer has less to do with the TP49 than you might think.
A practical UK guide to protecting plants from frost, from knowing when to act to fleecing, mulching, moving pots and lifting tender plants.

A 150-strip pack for under a tenner that several owners say reads their hot tub more accurately than the brand they used before. That claim deserves a closer look, and so does the one buyer whose strips kept misreading plain water.
