Is your shed filled with the junk you can't bear to throw away, or is it a neat and tidy temple to all things horticultural? Hosts James Alexander-Sinclair and Joe Swift chat about the world of garden structures, from how many sheds is too many, to the tricky topic of why men seem obsessed with them. Plus they answer your questions, including sage advice for people with new gardens; whether goldfish in a pond are bad for the environment, and why battery farming for fruit trees is OK.
