I would like to know a little about how is best to go about planting a copper beech hedge, and when is the best time to do this?How far apart should they be planted? Should I mix compost or some type of soil enhancer to them?Should I add bone meal?Also I would like to know, how do I go about taking cuttings from the hedge?
I have a fatsia japonica in a pot for about a year. Recently the leaves have begun to brown and die off and growth is stunted and new tips are brown. I thought it was the dry spell as it was in sun, but it hasn't responded to watering. Could it be vine weevils (there are lots in my garden) and can I save the plant?
I planted some red robin shrubs along a railing between myself and a neighbours garden last November.They problem is they look like someone sat on them as such.What should i do to make them stronger?
I have a verbena bonarensis for the past two yrs and dont know how i should prune it if at all? the new seasons flowers are beginning to emerge now but the old ones are there since last yr. should it be cut down after flowering or what i am afraid to go near it in case i damage it for life!
Every year my trees develop this type of fungus? starts on trunk and extends to branches. White sticky spots with brown dot in centre until it covers the whole trunk and all branches. Nimrod spray takes it away, but it returns the next year. Also stops new growth until I manage to clear it. Any help would be appreciated.
New to gardening but bought a Pyrus Silver Sail 2 weeks ago & planted according to instructions. The tree was healthy when planted but looks like it's dying now. Our site is fairly windy as our hedging is still very young & providing no shelter but garden centre told me this tree would do okay with wind. Is there anything I can try to improve it?
