Chop and drop | the deadheading technique chosen by the head gardener at Sissinghurst
When most of us head out into the garden to do a spot of deadheading, we take a pair of our favourite secateurs and a bucket or trug in which to collect the spent flower heads with us.
But nowadays, gardeners are choosing an easier and quicker method - just letting the spent flower heads to fall to the ground, covering the soil surface like confetti before they rot down into the soil.
Discover the Chop and Drop method from Troy Scott Smith, head gardener at Sissinghurst Castle Garden.

    Is this the same garden from his Simple Suppers series from around 10 years ago? I remember him having the box hedges for growing - if this is the same garden, it's amazing how different he can make it look. This man is single handedly responsible for myself and my family cooking and eating more veg. even over a decade later, I'm still watching the videos and cooking the food. would love for him to make a return to TV.
