How deep do rthe roots of a weeping willow go? We have geothermal heating loops in the garden at one meter depth and would like to plant a WW in a damp corner. Garden is large enough and will take a WW.

We have a wet spot (poor drainage) which I thought to plant a few Alder trees in as they are good for such conditions, I believe. How deep are Alder roots and do they spread, as we have some pipework buried and I am not 100% sure of its location with regard to the proposed place for the Alders?

I have a NW facing paved area and wish to populate with pots etc. In pots, say 32cm x 32cm what could I use for permanent pot life that might also add a bit of winter colour? I already have Buxus there and will have summer colour in some troughs as well. I live in North Tipperary and sometimes get severe frosts.

Lawn of approx. one acre. Some poor patches but generally OK. We usually keep it cut short so it looks reasonable, but we have docks, thistles (tight to the ground so mower misses them) and clover and would like to feed and weed now in preparation for winter.

I planted a Magnolia Tree in Spring 2009. It went in in blossom and blossomed 2010 & 2011. In 2012 & this year it only produced two or three blossoms. The tree appears to be extremely healthy however, I have under-planted it with spring bulbs and sweet William for the summer. Is this the problem? Do I need to remove them?
