I would like to know what is the best way to plant laurel hedging?
This lilac was planted four years ago and is 8 to 9 feet in height (see photo) As I don't wish to let it get too large for its present location, can you advise, please: When and how should pruning be done?
I am looking for some genuine advice from an expert. I have new garden and have new grass growing. I have an area at back around 70 foot long were I would like to grow wild flowers, see photo. Looking for advise as tho where I should purchase, what do I have to do to start.
I have grown courgettes from seed indoors but now that I am planting them out, they are breaking off at the stem. They are in a sheltered area and I've also put down slug repellent, and bed is covered by nets so it's not birds or animals. I don't know what is causing this. I have four more to plant which are hardening off, but want to make sure I don't lose these ones.
I got a Laurel hedge growing around our property. On one side it is bordered by post and rail fence lawn, and the other is a steep bank. Majority of hedge is thriving, however, one section (about 6yrds) is lagging way behind. It is about half the width of surrounding hedge, and not as high, all planted at the same time. It has been quite yellow, so i have been feeding this section weekly for past few weeks with Phostrogen. The ground is clay, but doesnt seem to be affecting the rest of hedge prob in region of 120yrds in total. Doesnt seem to be water logging. There have been flowers on it and growth, and now some green bulbs on sections. so it is growing, just not as well, any ideas on how to improve it to the level of the others plants?
What plants can I take cuttings of for propagating in June or July ?
