Euonymous Extase

Thanks chaps/chapesses. Confirmed what I thought, just need a dry day - less mess. Good luck.

I want to move a euonymous. I have done this with others before so no great shakes but I planted it through a membrane with gravel on top and want to move it just a few feet. I am trying to keep the mess down. Can anyone tell me (guess) how deep and wide the roots are likely to be? The plant is about three years old and is about a metre high with a spread of 30 cms. I know I can just dig it up and go for it but am trying to plan. Thanks

Moss - Do I dig it in?

Thanks very much for all the advice. Given that it is not a massive garden I shall remove the patches individually and then do the soil improvement bit. Good luck with your plots. Cheers

Hi Geoff

It is 'green material' which I am sure is moss on top of the soil in between any plants that I have. It is less prevalent in the less shady areas. It appears the same as the 'moss' that I have on any stonework and in the lawn. I am not bothered (I shall never be able to use that phrase again - Thanks Catherine Tate) about the moss in the grass. Cheers

Moss - Do I dig it in?

As with all other gardeners I have always had to deal with moss. Possibly more than others because about 60% of my garden does not see any sunlight for about 6 months of the year. I have chosen to lift it off the stone, brickwork or even the surface of the soil and dump it. However this this year (obviously) there is even more than normal. I am tempted to treat it like any other weed and hoe it. Normally rooted (whatever that means) weeds tend to die when the head and root are separated and hence I just leave them where they finish, on or just under the surface of the soil. If I do this with moss will I be multiplying the growth. I am sure I was told this many years ago before I got some experience. I know I am playing fast and loose with the term gardener by applying it to myself but nobody knows everything. Any help much appreciated.
