Hosta info and advise.

Thats a good idea she has,i use ashes as i have lots we are always burning things(prunings of tree etc) plus bbqs in warmer weather x

 

I use broken glass in the pots.......
i'll explain....before the bus shelters replaced the glass with perspex they were constantly getting smashed round here...shattering them to bits...so me being me collected the glass up and used it in my hosta pots....
The way the glass shattered it was no sharper than coarse grit and worked a treat
Ofcourse care needs to be taken if there are children or pets around

 

Just nipping out to give my bus shelter a good kicking

 

They would make a good cold frame

 

I Planted my first Hosta last year - Patriot. Moved it around a few times which it didn't seem to mind and continued flowering right through to late Autumn. Trouble is i can't remember it's last position and it hasn't started sprouting yet.

 

I worked in a garden today ... I planted 10 large leaved hostas last year

only 3 are showing at present and the rest should follow in a week or two (hopefully)

also don't forget the snail/slug pellets

I may look at the nematodes this year aswell :

and I will combine it with the garlic spray

Will do shiney. It does look nice up against the dark brown B&Q Mini Bark Chips. It's the only Hosta i have at the moment but i'm thinking of getting two blue leafed ones this year to flank it with - and of course the slug pellets too - Growing Success ones so the hodgypigs don't get poisoned.

 

Or a Slug Pub perhaps?
