My magnolia susan has just produced beautiful blooms again in the last week. Is this unusual? It is about 6 years old and this is the first time this has happened.
What is ideal soil pH range for growing Orange Trees? I have about twenty seedlings ready for pricking out and I want to use the optimum potting medium.
We planted Griselinia hedge 2 years ago along the driveway into our house, about 10 of the plants didn't take, my in-laws have huge Griselinia plants let grow wild in their drive so I was wondering if it's possible to take cuttings from their hedge to replace those that didn't take in mine? If so, how do I do this and when is the right time to do this? Also when is the correct time to trim the hedge?
I've spent weeks strimming and weeding a big area that will eventually be covered with weed barrier/stones, but until that day I just want the area kept clear of weeds/grass. After clearing it, I sprayed with Roundup, but when new weeds/grass started growing, I found out that Roundup only kills active plants. I read somewhere that Pathclear prevents germination for up to 3 months, so a week ago I resprayed the area with Pathclear, but weeds/grass haven't died off yet. Am I using the wrong weedkiller? I measured the water correctly so had the right mix.
