    Very helpful. Thank you. I’ve a few plants coming along in pots and three in a small patch of earth. A few blackfly here and there which I’m wiping off by hand.

      I didn’t really touch on pests and diseases. The only serious problem for young plants is slugs and snails. Slug pellets do the job.

      I’m keeping an open mind on the matter at the moment.

I might try drying leaves completely, and then grinding them into small fragments, and adding that to bought tobacco to just bulk it out a little. And maybe with some leaves I’ll try the technique of partly drying them and then tying them into small bundles, which I’ve seen on Junican’s site somewhere. […]
