NEW Gardeners !

Thanks so much. I’ve planted up now so I’ll post a photo soon. This forum has been so helpful and supportive. Xx

We've done all ours. Have good look first to see whether the new shoots are visible and then cut just above them. We always do ours early as there's so much that we have to use a hedge cutter.Some of the less dense grasses I snap the stems off instead of cutting.

Should be covered in no time!

Many thx for your reply

maybe doesn't like the spot where you positioned it? Too much water?

Thank you so much - yes I think you are right! Found an image of Spirea Britannica and it looks just like that. Hope to now be able to give it some TLC.

OK, so best to acclimatise it gradually, its also not used to outdoor conditions either, so best to take it slowly.

I'm the proud owner of a deep fat fryer, so I buy those 5 litre containers of sunflower oil to fill it up.

The notion of raised beds is hardly a new one. I remember my Dad (God rest his soul) was a great believer of banking-up his veg patch, always quoting “drainage”. Most folks don’t have the luxury of large gardens, with separate veg patches, so being aesthetically pleasing is an important...

That's good.There's a growing number of scientists worrying about the health of the world of fungi. When people talk about biodiversity they are usually concerned with plants and animals, but there's a growing realisation that both groups depend heavily on a third, often overlooked group, the...

It's good for the soil but if you leave it out in the rain the chemicals start to leach out of it. So you want it in situ as soon as possible. Even small amounts are good. So just throw it on the beds as soon as it has cooled down.I get quite a lot because I have a lot to burn, but it does...

Hi Harry & ,You could put it in the compost bins,& I believe if you put it around your fruit trees/bushes & plants it will help the fruit swell. You could also rotovate it into your land, I've put quite a lot on my veggie patch, we have clay soil which is obviously very heavy, an old man...

It's about 120 - 150 sq. metres . Quite a large area

Yes I think I know why Cindy. Wisteria are hungry....nay greedy ...plants. They need room to grow....plenty of room....so growing in containers is not ideal. The one growing here has huge allotted space in the garden and it grows and grows hence the need for pruning. John innes is good but I...

Thank you for sound advice. Will let you know how i get on .

Thanks @pete I would do it differently but....all is well..

Wisteria can be hard-pruned, but beware that it may be several years before it resumes flowering "fit to bust". I would make sure to water in Summer, if there is no ran, as that is when flower buds are formed, and that might encourage it to produce some/many! whilst "recovering".Additionally...

Thanks guys, that's really useful info. Just what I was looking for. Thanks again.
