My lawn was sown a year ago and I applied fertilizer (agricultural - due to size of lawn) in late April/early May. It was nice and green but now the fertilizer is gone and there are alot of white patches - the soil/drainage is not great. I was in to the garden centre and they reckon it is too late for another dose of agricultural fertilizer and only other suggestion was standard lawn feed. I was under the impression there was a specific Autumn lawn feed which I could apply know to strengthen the grass before the winter months and bring back the greenness. Any recommendations on that front?
My dad grew this plant in a glasshouse this summer assuming he had courgette seeds, any idea what they are?
I've been trying to buy madonna lily bulbs for over two years. Every garden centre says something different. If I ask in spring they say they come in in the autumn. If I ask in autumn they say they'll have them next spring. - When should I expect to be able to buy them, and when should they be planted?
Looking for your advice on what to do with my new flower bed 10mx5m in the front of the house. I will be planting in two weeks but im not sure whether to lay the weed barrier and bark mulch on top,weed barrier and top soil on top or just plant and laying nothing at all and continue weeding until the plants eventually will cover.
Planted Hydrangea macrophylla early summer, was thriving for first 6-8 weeks but now some of the leaves are looking burnt and a bit dried out, but more distressingly all the flowers are fading in colour and turning brown, soil is moist I'm sure it doesn't need water but I have no idea what is happening to it.
I am new to gardening and just moved to a new house. Our back garden is patchy, weedy and full of small stones. The soil is greyish colour, not sure if that is normal. We have mowed it a few times, raked it, stabbed the soil with pitch fork and lightly covered lawn with lawn fertilizer then watered it. Over a month later, the lawn hasn't improved. I am aiming for nice green soft grass. Any tips?
