That is the Phonus Mastus, an increasingly invasive species that seems to be cropping up everwhere. Even the strongest weedkiller wont eradicate it!
That might be just the thing then Paul, many thanks for your help. :gnthb: I will see if I can hire one locally. At some point, when I have...
Thanks Paul. I have looked at the single furrow plough, but it looks like it turns the soil both ways instead of just to one side, is that right?...
Hi all, We have an area of scrubland of about 1/3rd of an acre. We have mown a number of interconnecting paths through it and have used...
Hi rogern and welcome. It could be a Gaultheria (wintergreen). What were the flowers like in spring?
You are very welcome Orby1. I think you are wise to wait until Spring if you have room for them in the GH as they are not really hardy. Good luck...

I had a daft idea the other day when opening a tin. Why not cut holes in the bottom of the tin and next year sow beans in a bean tin, peas in a...
Hi Tracy, Personally I prefer the ivy to the sycamore as it is a fantastic plant for all kinds of wildlife, but I suppose the sycamore will do as...
Instead of liftting the matting, you could cut holes in it and plant through those. Just cut a cross and fold under the corners.
Also meant to say, you will get a leaflet with your order from J Parkers giving you basic planting and after-care advice.
Come early spring you wiill find that garden centres and maybe outlets like Lidl & Aldi will be selling pots of snowdrops in flower. Just buy half...
Not necessary, crocus are fully hardy and will be prefectly happy outside.
I would not plant snowdrops as dormant bulbs as they probably won't come up. It is best to plant them 'in the green' , just after they have...
