CLEANER, less polluted air is surely going to be as beneficial for our plants as for us. At first thought there seems little we as individual gardeners can do about this – other than avoiding smoking everything out with smouldering bonfires – but there is actually plenty we can do.

Obviously, when everyone stops using polluting vehicles this will make a huge difference to air quality, but that may take some time to come about.
