The term "green" is on everyone's minds these days, whether it's getting more green as in making more money, or going green environmentally. The need for more green technology and practices is definitive, as the impact on our environment from our appetites for fossil fuel machinery and methods of generation electricity have taken a toll. An effort does have to be made to repair our planet, but many consider the loss of amenities to be too great to surmount. However, there are ways of getting by: solar water heating devices, electric high speed trains getting installed for public transport, and so forth. If you start going a little more <a rev="vote for" title="A day in the green lane turned me red and saved money" href="personalmoneystore.com/.../a>, it's like giving a cash advance to the Earth.

I seem to have the same problem developing. Our soil is heavy clay with a lot of compost/FYM/grass clippings worked in. I was wondering if I should start again, but it sounds as if I can just carry on regardless and still get plenty of fruit?

I used to grow raspberries quite successfully on limestone brash, in south Lincolnshire, and chlorosis was a common problem for us, particularly during wet seasons. We tried scattering flowers of sulphur, which had little effect, and also tried Epsom salts, thinking there might be a magnesium problem. Eventually, we simply had to tolerate it, as nothing seemed to cure the condition. The leaves of chlorotic plants would also scorch in sun, which make the crop look even sicker, but we still gathered plenty of fruits.
