If your garden is surviving the UK heatwave, first of all, bravo! But other pests could be poised, ready to destroy your efforts. These are the surprising household products expert gardeners from Wilkinsons Landscapes and Gardening Express suggest using on your garden this summer…

"You can do a lot for your garden with items you already have in the kitchen or cleaning cupboard," explains Simon Wilkinson of Wilkinsons Landscapes. "It's all about clever re-use, making the most of what is already at hand to keep your garden healthy and thriving.
