    I'd be grateful for help with a shady problem. My neighbour's Leylandii hedge is huge and shades one side of my SW facing garden. The soil beneath these trees is horrendous - bare, dry & acidic.
    I'd like to do something to cover the ground or screen the bare earth a bit.

    Someone recommended a bamboo screen - any thoughts? Would I need to bury planters in the rubbish soil?

    Any help would be gratefully received, thanks [​IMG]
