Questionsplanting up a woodland area?
Doreen Mc Kenna Staff asked 14 years ago

We have recently reclaimed an area of ground along side an existing native hedge. Basically it was a very wet area so we put in drainage covered over with stones and them top soil on top. I would love to plant up a woodland area with a winding path running down its length but have no idea where to start. Weeds are spreading rapidly, its clay soil and quite a shady area?
