Just before winter you identified my beast of bamboo and suggested saving it from root rot, i lifted it from planter put in black bin bag, made holes and lifted it onto raised bed tying it at its centre.it survived very well indeed, thank GOD, will i now plant to its new quarter barrel home, with the directions you gave me on planting and saving it given to me in a previous question or will i wait another month as it is doing ok?
This bamboo is called for me 'the beast' and i love it, but i do not know what type it is, where can i discover this info! i will try and add the photos now. the leaves are large about six inches long, the dark part of the stem is a very deep green, large cluster of leaves half way up plant and then shots upwards again at end of which the stem divides as in a fan and at end of these are more of the large leaves. Wonderful!
I have one large half barrel which i want to make into a barrel pond, where can i get an oddment of pond liner for this, i am on a disability pension and never could afford a massive piece for this one feature. Thanks in anticipation.
I bought alpines in tiny pots end of summer, waterfall feature now working. can i plant the alpines on the fake rocks and mixed real rocks NOW, how do i do it? they look a bit worse for wear. what happens if the pump or electrics break down and all is established in and around the feature? Thanks
I dug a large bamboo from a garden, it became waterlogged in a planter so put it into a bin bag, holes for drainage and placed on top of a raised bed, also tied bin bag round middle. still very wet and sodden, can i plant it into a wooden quarter barrel now with plenty of crock at bottom and add dry compost to prevent root rot.
