what are the best plants to put on a site 16 metres by 14 meters to cover off septic tank and part of lawn? south facing,good drainage,clay soil,very little shelter at moment .
How old, approximately, is a Scots Pine before it starts taking on its mature ( and majestic) shape? I am wondering will I live long enough to enjoy it!!
I am starting a rural garden on an acre site which had heavy machinery compacting some of the soil while the house was being built. Parts of the grassed area shows where the compaction is worst. Will this ease with time? Our soil is clay.
Gerry,
In the last 10 days I planted several apple trees using rootstock M111 (large standard). I allowed 12ft between them and have now read elsewhere that I should have allowed 18ft +. Can they be moved now or will I leave well enough alone? They were from containers.
Thanks.
I want to plant a shelter/ screening belt site 87m41m East and west roughly 87m. Entrance at the north.I would prefer trees as opposed to hedges. What types and quantities should I have. Many thanks.
Gerry,
What hedge would you recommend to plant to give shelter on an exposed site. What do you think of Leylandii.
Have you any alternatives to Leylandii and have you any management tips for this hedge.
Regards
