I want to put a little science project together for school children to test which of the advertised garden "growth products" on sale have the best results. I want to set up the experiment in multiple yoghurt sized pots and get results in hopefully 2-3 weeks. It doesn't matter what a plant I use, just something that will grow quickly - any advice?

I cannot seem to grow Rhododendron. I set the Rhodo's in Brown Gold. Dug a deep hole and filled it with brown Gold. However even a large Rhode is now starting to turn black - this will spread and kill the entire plant. A smaller Rhode is already ravished and died as per pictures. Thanks Gerry. If you have any solutions. I live on the side of south facing hill. Open to elements. I thought Rhodo's were hardy.

I have two hydrangea in a shrub bed in the front garden growing side by side with each other now in their second year. Both seem to be growing painstakingly slow (was under the impression they were very hardy and quick to grow) one is doing well in so far that it is healthy looking but the other shrub has holes in a lot of its leaves and isn't as full with leaves as the other, just wondering if you can tell me why there are so many holes on the leaves and what I can do to remedy this. They are hydrangea macrophylla mophead variety. Look forward to hearing from you.
