Nettles

and tending and they'll be easy enough to keep cleared - easier than groundsel and bittercress and creeping buttercups and thistles and couch grass which are also a constant feature in my garden no matter how often I weed and hoe. I too try to be as organic by Wendy8

MULCHING..!!!

is that after a few years creeping buttercup and ivy will find it's way through somehow and I now have a devil's own job of dragging the reluctant and infested membrane off the beds. I shalln't go back to using a membrane again, probably as I am now retired by Dizzilexia

Talkback: Gardening in the rain

on the positive side... on the odd occasion its dry enough to actually go out in the garden it is much easier to pull the wretched creeping buttercup out of my border! Is there anything we can dig into the soil before winter starts to prevent the water ruining by willow

Making a woodland garden

/nature-online/life/plants-fungi/postcode-plants/intro.html Well thankyou to everybody for this useful info including how Monty might have done it!. Incidentally we are in the Scottish Borders. Clearly a few options to consider. The area is very shaded and low growing creeping buttercup, shepherd's purse by woodlandgardener

Fiskars Weed Removing Tool

Talkback: Native versus non-native plants

and out of flower beds (but leave a big nettle patch in one corner) but I allow red campion to flower in them. Creeping buttercup is only welcome in the boggy bit that I'm not going to get to, but other buttercups flower in the beds. I was planning by donutsmrs

HELP !!!!!what about ground cover plants- does it work?

you colour all year round. You could also consider a creeping, spreading juniper towards the front of the bed. Lamiums are good for groundcover, particularly around shrubs, they spread easily and you can get some with silvery leaves and pretty flowers by lucky3

Geraniums (not Pelargoniums)

nostalgia creeping in Frank. Frank: Really enjoyed your reply above. My dad grew the veg and the interesting thing about nostalgia in my case is that I don't remember him every seeming worried about anything going wrong in the garden. I don't recall him by yarrow2
