gerry, i am looking for a plant to put on boundary wall between me& neighbours for privacy. About 12 tall, maybe 3 or 4 wide but not "deep" at all,not to take up space in my garden or grow into neighbours -ideally as if I was able to build up the wall to about 12 feet in one section! Someone said to me, bamboo? If so what type? Also my whole garden is paved, I wouldn't want something with roots that would push up the slabs. Any ideas? Many thanks. Marian
My daughter is getting married on the 25th April and I would love to have some colour in the back garden.Could you please tell me what flowers I could either buy or plant in for containers as I have a very large decking and the girls could go out the back weather permitting to have their photos taken.

Hi Gerry, we are just starting to design a fairly large garden. We live in a fairly windy area and sometimes get a slight frost. There are a few areas I would like to grow clusters of possibly 3 trees together. I particularly like evergreen trees, some with a bit of colour, I would be most grateful if you could give me a few suggestions as to what trees would look good together. Thank you,
Martha
Hi Gerry, I have read that ammonium Sulphamate will kill off Ivy, is this true and where would I purchase it.
I applied Evergreen Weed and Feed to the lawn yesterday 8th April. The lawn is one year old, however there are numerous weeds and several bare patches, it is also very damp. Can I sow grass seed to the bare patches now or should I wait and see if the Evergreen improves things?
How do I drain the soil in my back garden it seems to hold on to the rain water, when you stand out on it you can hear the water in it. Also I cant get the grass to grow properly it is very patchie with moss and little weeds. My house and garden are only 5 yrs old when digging out for the decking I noticed it was full of stones etc. I am not very green fingered so am at a loss what to do
