Some of the posts look like they have already rotted at the base and should be easy to remove. I would try to remove those loose ones first, then see if the others can be levered back and forth like removing an old shrub or tree. The easiest option would then be to replace them like for like,...

You are probably correct, @pete, he could have been thinking of Greenland, which he kept calling Iceland, although it is Denmark that he said wouldn’t hand it over to him. Or maybe he meant the Chagos islands, but I don’t think anyone was offering to give them to him? Who knows what is going on...

Trees, particularly young trees, generally prefer not to have anything in touch with the trunk (other than air). I always leave a gap around the trunk when I'm mulching around a tree, no matter what i'm mulching with - it's like a doughnut with a hole in the middle...

Hi AllI was recently getting ready to remove the moss from my lawn (or more properly green space, as it predominantly moss) and re-seed with grass when I had second thoughts.There are a few weeds in there as well, and I understand that if I remove the moss now there is a good chance I will...

Wow, you must have very different air fryers than we. Ours are really just little convection ovens. Heat and blow the air at high speed. (My older one can stir too to keep chips flipping etc)The electric version of a presser cooker over is is sometimes called a Rapid cooker or Instant pot. And...

Hi AllI bought some Mo Bactor Instant to deal with a considerable amount of moss in my garden.Before I get around to applying it (probably later this year) I am now wondering is it actually any good and would I be better using something else?Thanks in advance for your sage advice!

Hi @BOSullivan , welcome to the forum! What an exiting project you have ahead... best of luck and please share updates and photos of your journey.Adding your approximate location into your profile information is helpful, there are many climates and soils on this island which makes a big...

Over many years I've bought from CPA Horticulture - mushroom compost & horse manure every year and I've had bulk composted bark chippings and 25T top soil. All of it has been of very good quality. Even substantial amounts of manure or compost are available in 75 litre bags which makes life...

I can't remember the exact name of the yellow variegated one I had - it was no taller than about a metre, so probably one of the cookianum hybrids, not tenax which is the huge one. Called something like Maori Sunrise? I took it out because it was becoming a huge clump and then weeds would grow...

Thank you CarolineLI have not done very well, I was so keen to get into this that I bought items before I asked for advice, I was not aware that sellers would mislead to sell their stock, as a previous post mentioned. It looks like I will have to put everything to one side and start again with...

No buds - no activity.

I'm not surprised you getting 10 different answers, there's not a lot to go by at the moment until it gets some leaves at least.The growth habit looks similar to Hibiscus but that is just a wild guess.

We're in Ile de France, so quite far North. The soil in our garden has many earthworms in it - I'm hoping that's a good sign!

It survives around here is all I can say, dont have it myself but have seen it in gardens.
