Good point Sheal. I'd assumed this was a slight mis-posting, since they didn't say much about it having to be one of them.Most evergreen herbs...
Not quite the same thing, but the same idea. Worth a shot.
A few possibles which I've had in a previous heavy clay garden are...Hebe Ceanothus Ceratostigma Nandina Caryopteris Hedgehog holly (ilex...
Pick out the weeds if you can. Sprays will leave dead spots in the new lawn.You used to be able to get wax weed killer sticks which you could...
Typically a bulk bag is a little under a cubic metre. Most places seem to reckon 0.9m^3. If you want 5cm depth over that area, you're looking at 3...
I guess that puts you kind of Preston/Garstang way? Everywhere along the Pennines is pretty peaty, so that makes sense soil-wise. That does mean...
Isn't that one of the nice things about aquilegia? They do self-seed, but they're so pretty you can't really begrudge them a little space in the...
That sounds about right! I'm originally from Lytham St Annes, and the North Sea keeps the Fylde a couple of degrees warmer than the rest of...

I'm near Cambridge but originally from Lancashire. It's at least a couple of degrees warmer around here on average, although we do still get some...
Mine gets regular pruning and it's happy, but I'm pruning for shape, opening up airflow and avoiding branches crossing. It's almost higher than my...
TBH I wouldn't worry about "soggy clumps". If you're sowing by hand, there are always going to be some clumps where you scattered a bit more seed...
Third pic looks like mallow to me. The leaves are more round than ground ivy.Malva - WikipediaI have problems with it too. The bad news is...
Whatever you do, it's going to sink a bit. That's just inevitable with significant amounts of digging. If you leave it a month or so after digging...
I dismantled an ally framed one, because where it was sat didn't fit with how I want the garden to be laid out. Apart from a couple of nuts I had...
I've not grown one in a pot, but I can't recommend lilac microphylla enough for all-year appeal. It's a medium-sized shrub (about 4ft tall) and...
That definitely looks like a dog. I've not had that myself with my dogs, but mine are much smaller and in a much bigger garden. For friends with...
For the same reason we weed, mulch and prune - it looks good and it keeps things healthy.Overgrown weedy lawns will spread those same weeds into...
