I grow one in a 22L pot in my greenhouse. By the end of the season the pot is filled with roots.When planting them don't plant any deeper than...
Another option is to use a reverse osmosis filter - that removes everything and leaves very soft water. My waterbutts are empty so I'm using mine...
That's likely the problem then. Water filters don't alter the pH by anything significant so your plants may well be deficient in some nutrients....
It may be too much for them. They only need minimal feed to thrive, so once a month is plenty.Azaleas don't need weekly feeding either, so their...
The burnt edges on many of the leaves is likely the result of something to do with the compost they're in. Might they have been overfed? Too much...
Most likely something to do with their environment that they're not happy about. They appear to be planted in the ground - is that right? Where...
:biggrin: Good idea If it comes to me, I'll let you knowHappy growing!
That name doesn't ring a bell either @Mrs Hillard but it's more likely that my memory is far from what it was :)I know I had a Fritz Nobis in...
Thanks @Mrs Hillard - It's not Albertine. I can't recall its name atm, but you did identify it for me when we were at 'the other place' a couple...
My first thought when I saw the pic was Star Jasmine (trachelospermum jasminoides) - which is well-known for getting red leaves over winter and is...
cant remember the variety but look lovely for a couple of weeks [ATTACH]
Are you sure it's a myrtle?Here's a pic of mine that I've had for about 20 years - I'm not sure the leaves on yours look quite right for a...
I've had Maxicrop seaweed extract go off after 2-3 years - the smell was just rotten, so I'm not sure how long yours would last - have sniff and...
My 1m x 1m x1m compost bins do get hot - but not hot enough to kill weed seeds, as I don't turn it as much as I should.I have an big old dalek...
If the flower spikes droop during the day but recover later in the day it's likely that there's not enough water at the roots. So when the sun is...
This looks a possible match -[ATTACH]I'm not overly concerned what the exact variety is, but I've seen it flowering in Spring for several...
Good call @SherwoodArrow having had a google myself the flowers are almost certainly hawthorn as @pete also suggested. It's the dark green, very...
No definitely not blackthorn - there's lots of that around here and as you say they flowered a while ago. My pears finished flowing a few weeks...
Thanks. I didn't notice any thorns, but will have a closer look tomorrow. I think I did look for berries last autumn, but don't recall seeing any....
For several years I've often noticed a little shrub in the hedgerow around the fields where I walk with my pooch and often wondered what it is...
