Pear midge??
of them and I put up yellow sticky traps in spring to catch any flies, to try and break the life cycle. Much to his despair the fruits are all on the ground again! He is now talking of cutting all the branches down to 3 foot so he can cut all the blossom by Mrs S

Composting
I had two composting boxes built a couple of years ago in an area of the garden that was thick with bindweed and ground elder and subsequently the bases of the boxes are sitting on several layers of thick membrane. I have covered to tops by Big Pete

Woodland plants
Hello,  The curb between my house and road is woodlandy - 3 lime trees and 1 copper beech, with holly and laurel shrubs, the odd fern plus ivy ground cover (and until recently nettle and bramble).  I'm wanting to add in a few plants to brighten by Supernoodle

Weeping Rose
and do we need to cover the soil or the base of the tree? We have stopped feeding it but I take it the soil should be kept moist over winter? Should we prune it again now or wait until the Spring? Sorry for all the questions!! Thanks Leave rose pruning by Brycey D

Hello, I have a larger border planted with Phyllostacys as hedging but there is space underneath for ground cover/flowering plants if possible.  Does anyone have any ideas for dry tolerance planting?   thanks ..I assume there is a little sun by Daveycon

pallenis maritima
which he called aurelias, but which I later discovered were asteriscus aurelia or pallenis maritima. They provided excellent non-invasive ground cover, and were smothered in beautiful golden flowers from late spring to the frosts, which killed them. I by David Leonard

My attempts at gardening ::: comments welcome!
at the middle of my garden which separates two levels unfortunately I get a constant wind so I'm looking ideas for planets that can tolerate wind but are interesting and give good ground cover as I hate weeding (don't we all). Have a look at your pics Paul, you by paulkearney
