Thanks folks! I'm slightly regretting having booted that clump then - but of course that's only the fruiting body and not the actual main fungus....
Hi all. I've got an area in the corner of the garden where I've laid wood chips for a space to put chairs in and stuff. Doing a bit of clearing up...
One down, three to go!Last year was all about the concrete foundations, and getting all the wood good to go. This year was assembly time for the...
That's why all fences I've built myself or had someone else put up, I've always got concrete spur posts in the ground. In time the wooden post...
I'm iffy about the lists of "harmful" plants. Sure, they may be poisonous if you force-feed them to your pets/children, but realistically pets...
I've had decent results with regular detergent. No damage to plants, and no impact on my apple tree or the fruit.I add anti-aphid insecticide to...
Another vote for shiplap instead of featheredge. The end result is simply better in every way - looks neater, takes wood treatments better, lasts...
I'm going to give my usual recommendation for syringa microphylla superba. The height and lack of suckering is just what you're after. Flowers are...
Scatter seed over it, and follow with a light covering of soil. If there are any big gaps, anyway.You can expect it to not look very dense from...
For a small shrub, I'll always recommend lilac microphylla. It doesn't go above 4-5ft fully grown, with a kind of loose vase shape, and it's not...
That's an interesting one, Sandy - thanks. I'll keep an eye out for that myself.
FWIW, this is what I reseeded about 3 weeks ago. Pretty patchy, and an awful lot of weeds. (I live next to countryside, so everything blows in...
That's pretty normal. Some just takes better than others, depending on nutrients, moisture or just plain luck. Overseeding later will take care of...
Not from my own use, I'm afraid. Stuff that other people have put in though, it's gone at least 5 years without rotting. And with it being stuck...
Just a thought, but what's wrong with log roll edging?Blooma Pine Edging roll, (H)150mm (L)1.8m | DIY at B&QThe metal tying the roll together...
Wisteria will grow equally on any shoot.Don't forget when you're tying shoots to the horizontal wires that they want to twine clockwise. Also...
As JWK says, keep it watered.Nandinas are pretty slow at growing, or really doing anything. They're pretty resilient too. A bit of fertiliser...
Nandina tend to look a bit scraggly over winter. They aren't deciduous, but the leaves go autumn colours and then get new growth in spring to...
Oh, I just looked at dimensions. Forget the honeysuckle - way too big for the space.
Honestly, a lot of birds don't tend to head that high up. Seagulls and birds of prey do, of course, but not the smaller ones that you're trying to...
