Title: Pineapple pit
Post by: smallholder in the city on October 14, 2010, 08:40:44 pm

For anyone interested in how the Victorians managed to grow pineapples the pineapple pit at the lost gardens of Heligan is on Gardener's world tomorrow (8:30 BBC2). It involves a lot of manure and rotting straw !
