I sent you a photo of the bougainvillea leaf but may have sent it to the wrong section. I have had my plant about 10 years and never know what type of compost to repot it in. I gave it some rhododendron feed and the result is yellow leaves with dark green veins. Also very few leaves. It is flowering profusely and is a wonderful sight at the moment. Would B@Q peat free compost be good or multi purpose with peat? Is it acid loving or alkaline? We grew them with either in Kenya I think.

Gerry, last October I planted a row of Beech hedge on my sloping front garden, it is a quite exposed and windy location. The hedges took very well and there was plenty of new growth this spring early summer. However, in the past month the leaves are turning brown almost as if autumn has come early. I am thinking it is some sort of deficiency. Any suggestions?
