I have Anemone seeds that I bought for AWARE's Daisy days campaign at least a year of not two years ago. Would they still be okay to plant now, and if so how do I go about it? I have very very little gardening experience but I am setting about changing this!.
I have removed ivy on 3 walls of south facing garden& would like your advice on covering walls with evergreen low maintenance shrubs in a space that is now gravelled and with small patio near house,The back wall facing north is overhung by large plane tree and leylandii. Garden is facing south but gets sun only on patio due to these trees .
My garden is overcrowded with shrubs, some have grown 4ft wide and 6 foot high. They are over 10 years old and are impossible to maintain.in particular, I have one evergreen shrub which grows thorns on its branches, and is particularly overcrowding my garden.What is the best plan of action to remove these shrub completely.. What tool should I use for a quick result and what do you recommend I do with the piles of debris that I will acquire from this job.Maybe there is a gardening service that undertake these jobs at a good price?I really have a large garden and would love to get it looking well, these shrubs are really taking away from it as I cannot plant flowers because every edge of the garden has a tree or an old shrub in it. Thanks ,Suzanne
How about using my compost for potato barrels ?. What kind of a mixture would you recommend ? I have sand and turf mould available . Richard
My small pond 5ft. by 2.5ft.and 18" deep has become muddy and slimey. The slime adheres to the plants (oxygenater, Lilly and Iris) and also floats in lumps on the surface. There were fish in it up to 5 months ago when the heron got them all. It is generally very muddy and disgusting. I have a filter in it but have switched it off for the moment. Should I empty it and start again or is there any treatment for it. Looking forward to hearing from you. Thank you.
