    Hallo I have just joined today.

    I live in Northern Ireland by the sea and am an entusiastic gardener but with very little expertise.I am proud and surprised when anything grows for me and like strong plants taht wont die easily.
    I seem to be getting good results with wormeries and compost but am not very good at planning -
    I have a small long strip of border on a cliff edge which is fairly under control and then a larger wilderness up above nestling under another cliff which is always in danger of reverting back to rose bay willow herb dock gorse and nettles.
    I think I might become a nuisance asking too many questions if so will someone tell me kindly please

    Hello Lapod and welcome. Asking questions is what this site is all about, with everyone sharing knowledge and ideas.
    I think I'm right in saying that one good sign with the docks and nettles means you probably have decent soil, so not all bad news.
