I may have misunderstood. Is the new drive being done because of the weeds? If so, I'd agree - that's surely a bit 'sledgehammer and nut'.
Yes - just snip off any dead/damaged stalks, and you can also remove a few leaves if they're the same. The spent brown flowerheads have now formed...
Yes - you see it all the time @Stephen Southwest . People want an instant effect [which I can understand] so they buy expensive, larger plants....
Just looking at your pix again @Dropmore - and I think that's an ash seedling in the 2nd pic - with the dark stem. I'd get that out before it gets...
I know what you mean about those small deviations @Kevin Cowans ! We come in all shapes and sizes don't we? It's always about working with what...
I wouldn't be worried about any of those plants @Dropmore . Borders in between driveways are pretty common in lots of areas - especially in new...
It always comes to your own preference @CostasK . If you fancy hawthorn - then you go for it :biggrin:Beech and Hornbeam will both keep their...
I can sympathise totally re workmen not responding etc @Kevin Cowans . Hopeless. I also understand the 'neat' thing as I'm also on the spectrum....
It's always difficult when you like something @Chris87 and someone else tells you otherwise! If they're definitely unstable/dangerous, then you...
Is there a reason you have it potted @peterpies ? Is it because of your soil pH? Do you have a photo and do you know what type of azalea it is?...
Cheers m'dear @Philippa ;)
If you could remove another slab either side, that would probably help, but I agree with @hailbopp that it's essentially a case of 'wrong plant,...
Yes - a bog standard hawthorn variety can be hacked as much as you want! The only problem is - maintaining well enough so that you don't need...
I agree - there really isn't enough room to let that reach full potential, even though that can take many years. It's always difficult with trees,...
I forgot to look back here @glosmike . If they're purple - they wouldn't be flag Irises. :smile: It's certainly more likely they're bearded...
Forget the feed. That's never a good idea for a struggling plant. Just keep adding suitable organic material every so often - don't cover the...
Harebells will certainly seed around well. One of my favourites, but if that turns out to be willowherb - good luck getting rid of it! I loathe...
I like eating my bananas green. When they start getting giraffe-y, that makes me heave. I've never fancied avocado.
Where do you live @Emm Jay ? Nothing works here for deterring slugs, apart from endlessly going out and picking them off and dispatching- and even...
Go for it @Loofah - that sounds a perfect site :)
