Anything potted needs more care than in the ground @martinlest , and yew likes plenty of moisture, but decent drainage. If it's gone short of...
Doesn't look like white Escallonia Iveyi to me, or any of the Spireas. I'd go with the daisy bush/Olearia ID @Merc22 but it's not something I've...
Tricky @Butterfly6 . Fortunately, the ivy I have is only on my boundaries which are next to roads, so it affects no one else where it's growing.
I wasn't sure about all the rules/regs @luciusmaximus . That's a great pity you can't get things more easily. Are there no online suppliers in NI...
Hi @PapaAldo1872 . The problem with rotovators is that they can often just make weed problems worse. Many of them can just become a plant on their...
I saw them on Eden, [I have Sky] but I think it was only that series from 2006 that was being shown. I don't know if you can get it on the catch...
Hi @steven eales . Have you got a photo of the general area you want to alter/amend? That helps with ideas. Also, your general location/climate,...

I think it would be highly unlikely to be vine weevil on a rowan. Even in the same site [approximately] @MichaelJC , it's surprising how...
The best compost I've ever used is available at our local mill, about a mile away. It's called Mother Earth. It's also produced in Ireland -I...
The squirrels are a masssive PITA as they chew the wooden surrounds @Sheal , but if you can use mesh and maybe something metal for all the 'joins'...
34 degrees would still be about 10 degrees higher than I'm comfortable with @lizzie27 ! I look forward to seeing your finished, or partly finished...
I'm not a fan of zoos, but there are plenty of regulations in place regarding zoo animals nowadays. Easy to judge without knowing the whole story...
Have you got any photos @MichaelJC ? That will help, along with more info. Are they the same variety? However, putting a young tree [of any kind]...
Re that article: You have to laugh -'give them nowhere to hide'. You'd have no chance of having any plants at all then! Heaven forbid you should...
