Ageing pots with yoghurt

Dscf0827 I am not one to try out many tips and tricks loved by Chelsea exhibitors - I don't really have time for putting bulbs in the fridge etc - but a brand new terracotta pot that's badly clashing with my more weathered containers has forced me to try the old natural yoghurt ageing trick (organic Yeo Valley yoghurt, of course).

At present the pot looks like my daughter's highchair after a particularly messy breakfast, but within weeks the yoghurt should have encouraged mosses and lichens to grow apace, banishing the current shade of orange which is the plant pot equivalent of a rather badly-applied spray tan. I'll put up the before and after shots in a fortnight or so.

My Photo

Bette Midler on gardening:


  • "My whole life had been spent waiting for an epiphany, a manifestation of God's presence, the kind of transcendent, magical experience that lets you see your place in the big picture. And that is what I had with my first compost heap."
