Hi Gerry, Please could you tell me the different cultivars used in Ireland in relation to setting a new lawn. I am a liitle unclear as to what they are and their function? I am aware that there a several types available.
I bought a pot plant called Pandorea for indoors. It got too big and I planted it into a bigger pot and put it outdoors and it is beautiful, I just love it. I would love to get another one to climb on a sunny wall, can you tell me where I could buy one or could I take a cutting and how to do so. I havent seen it in any garden centres. Can you advise me on how to look after it. Thanks Gerry
My lawn has yellow patches and when cutting patches are coming up, have looked at the soil and think we have chafer grubs. What can we do?Mary
Our 5 year old escallonia hedging has become bare and woody from the bottom to 3/4 of the way up. It is about 5' high, and until the end of September was thick and and healthy. The leaves have black spots, turn yellow and fall off. This problem is running right through a long border hedging. Is there anything that we can do to save and revise it?
I planted 140 Olearia plants in early 2006 as a wind break along 35 metres of my garden which runs to the sea. They had flourished until this month. I notice that approx 30/40 are dead or dying in intermittent clumps along the garden. There has not been any spraying near the hedge. I dug one up but did not notice any pests in the root ball.Why would this be?
