EDUCATION bosses have apologised to the Chinese community after racist slurs were found in a secondary school exam paper. We normally only feed once after winter however in some soil types a feed after summer could be useful. Depending on what is added we can experience problems in the garden if some added ingredients are at too higher levels than needed. Copper is one element which needs to be in control as it can affect worm levels in the soil. Too much Sulphur is fine for alkaline soil but can be a real problem in Acidic soils.

To feed plants consumers are faced with a multitude of choices and without help it can be confusing. We see advertised Organic, Chemical, Slow Release, Liquid or Animal manure.

Based on my above observation the amount of food needed by any rose plant should equal the amount of nutrients taken from the plant consisting of mostly flowers and pruning’s. It is hard to give a definite answer to how much for it all depends on what you require from your plants and how large the plants are. In most gardens wanting a good display of roses I recommend 1 feed after pruning with the amount roughly 1 handful per average plant with miniatures less and climbers 2-3 times this amount. A good gardening tip to remember is the best time to mulch is after good soaking rain. Watch the above video to find out what type of mulch to use and where. Large sections of the Chinese community were left deeply offended at the content of the paper, which was sat by children across Scotland.

It's a pleasant day for Furley the monkey until someone flings dung at him! Nobody is around to confess, so Furley goes on an investigation. "Who flung dung?!" Furley demands of Elephant and Rhinoceros. They deny everything, offended that Furley would think them capable of dung-flinging. Python and Crocodile didn't fling the dung, and neither did Lion or Vulture! So who was it? As Furley becomes more and more frustrated, readers will giggle more and more loudly. But even though he's frustrated, Furley's not going to give up. He's on a mission to find that dung-flinging culprit! She spoke yesterday about her concern at causing any part of the Chinese community, saying: ''The point of the story is actually to show racism up for what it is - stupid. I am really sorry that I have offended anybody in the Chinese community, that was never my intention, I just feel if you're going to deal with an issue like racism you can't do it politely. I dealt with it in a way that I found appropriate, perhaps different cultures would deal with the problem in a different way.'' Slow Release – As the name suggests slow release fertilisers are plant food encased in a membrane which slowly dissolves providing the food to the plant in a controlled manner. Another name for these types of fertilisers is Controlled Release Fertilisers. The main uses for these fertilisers are when planting new plants in the ground or providing feed for roses in pots. Signed by SQA awards division director David Elliot, the letters accept that the complaints were ''fully justified''. Representatives of the Chinese community have expressed relief at the apology, but believe it must be followed up with letters to schools around the country to make sure the piece has not had a damaging effect on racial harmony within schools.

Post moderation is undertaken full-time 9am-6pm on weekdays, and on a part-time basis outwith those hours. The tale is about an encounter between a group of drunk Scots and a young Asian couple at a bus station. The Scots harass the Asian couple saying, ''Fancy a chinky, eh? Deid cat chop suey. Hey - Who Flung Dung!''

The most important fact any gardener must remember is with any food there needs to be water. Fertiliser no matter what type needs to be dissolved to get into the soil and taken up by worms deeper in the soil profile. For a healthy worm population there needs to be feed, water and low levels of harmful elements. Tayside Racial Equality Council (TREC) chairman Dudley Kay, said he was pleased to receive the written apology but stressed: ''We would like to have a representative on the education committee so that we can solve any problems before they are allowed to go this far.

And citrus trees are not difficult to grow as this guide shows you how, step-by-step. Although the short story on which the interpretation piece was based has an anti-racist message, it was felt by the Chinese Associations of Scotland that in the context of the exam the excerpt came across as misrepresentative of Oriental people in this country.Free XGT 40V Max Brushless 125mm (5') Angle Grinder - Slide Switch (Battery & charger not included) A dark rich coloured mulch that enhances the look of a garden.
