General Gardening Discussion

It can be done, by hand and spade and wheelbarrow, I know! We have, we reckon, removed something like 30 tons of rubble, rubbish, s**** metal etc. from this piece of land. AND taken it all to the recycling yard in one car or another. As Dendy says, rotovation where there is material like that is...

Yes the mouldy bits and fur are normal.They get a bit slimey too.It`ll probably be there when it`s time to plant out.I wouldn`t worry,it never hurt my flowers last yr. Try and pack them in tight,as Liz says,into some sort of container or you`ll find them collapsing and toppling all over the place.

well like i say, i really would rather not go to the trouble of taking up the whole gardeni have taken up the dead conifer yesterday and would now like to look into plants/trees that are shallow rooted and will like the waterlogged tarmac bases lolany ideas?thanks for all help so far

don't get me started on council tax, the whole damned thing is so unfair, but a green tax sounds like a death with from this gevernment so I doubt it will really happen.

Hi, chobart, I thought we spoke about this before?I had this nightmare with P caerulea where it took over everywhere here and I was digging it up from here, there and everwhere ... still do several years later! :eek:And an even more :eek: because earlier I told new American digital...

Hi leahbe. The plant you have is something call Photinia with the variety being Red Robin. Is the plant in a windy or cold or hot and sunny spot? Does it have any aphids on it? What is the soil like? what is it fed with? Any of these things could be the cause of the problem. Please let me...

Hi Boro Boy. I would suggest you plant them up with alpines, most of them are spreading and evergreen but, most importantly, are capable with putting up with some neglect. David.

welcome 5lbcod. Go to your local garden centre and get a box of Evergreen weed and Feed. Use as directed and your problem should soon be solved. After a few weeks reseed any bald patches. David.

Oh just a thought - hope this was not an "April fool" cos I just inverted the ph in phalus today!

It's perfectly ok to do the aerating of your lawn in spring, and it recovers faster from scarifying then too - but if you're re-seeding, you do need water if the rain doesn't oblige!

Saturday the 19th ..for a week.Staying in Langton Herring.

Well I have just weedkillered one, so I had to cut it down to ground level, It will return, a bit later than usual thats all.

I'm sure my dad wouldn't say no to some Miscanthus ....My Peony in full flower yesterday :-

*** I know I said I would post these last week BM.. Still better late than never...!! This is my tree at various stages of flower, including the frost damage....So starting in Feb, these were the early buds.. I think the colours vary so much because I have taken allot of them looking...

Looking back at your picture, I now notice the unopened brushes! I should know better by now than to contradict you especially as it's in your garden!

Wonderful pictures, and wonderful view - sounds like your really happy there.
