MORNING FORKERS

Matty, that family link thing is lovely. I try to do some sentiment ....putting in plants that remind me by name, or because I know they were a favourite or for other reasons
That's why our personal gardens are so important.

Never really had a freeze down here.
That copper planter sounds perfect.
The garlic spray may be worth trying although I seem to grow hostas pretty well slug free...so far

What tree to plant?i

No not pampas grass. Hate that plant. Consider stipa gigantea. The golden oat grass. Magnificent. Or miscanthus variegatus ....green and white leaves up to 6' and the top slightly arching like a fountain.

John innes is of 3 types....number 1 is for seed and then there's 2 and 3. The difference is ....as I remember my school days....the amount of fertiliser added with 3 being the richest.
So j I number 1 with perlite would have little if any fertiliser and if perlite was added it would make it more free draining
