to avoid root rot. The soil from 3 inches below the surface feels fairly dry to the touch, although when I first got the plant, it felt slightly moist.The ebay seller said to cut off the affected leaves, but this seems drastic. I did it on one leaf by TimS

Suggestions of plants for a hedge
their autumnal brown leaves if pruned before the end of July. Hawthorns are also fast growing but are thorny - good for deterring unwanted visitors and protecting birds.  It plays host to lots of insects and has spring flowers for nectar and then fruits for birds by nancyg

clematis dieback.
) start withering at a height of about 2/3 feet and the leaves go brown. However they still grow on and produce healthy leaves and flowers at about 4/5 feet high. Is there any way to avoid this as I'd like the plants to look healthy from ground level I by rocketman

garden fence & shed
with our fence and shed. Thanks Just give it a scrub with jeyes and let it dry, then paint. If you don't protect it, it's just going to rot, fall apart and cost money to replace...sooner or later. If it's a fairly sturdy shed and will stand it, give by Kleeblatt
