Replanting between leylandii stumps

Composting

also take too long to compost, so I tend to burn all my prunings. It's said that bay and eucalypt leaves shouldn't be composted as they contain a growth-inhibiting enzyme. Pity, because bays grow like weeds here in Tuscany. Anyway, I've never tested by Chris Norton

decorative pots

plicata in your pot, it is a small slow growing Golden Conifer I have had some for years and they give a year round show for little effort apart from a light trim and a feed now and then. They like a slightly acid soil and the gold turns to bronze by pansy2

Planting to disguise very large fence

considering . Hi Clematis montana grows very quickly and in 2 years would probably cover the fence. It is an early flowerer so another later flowing clematis or a honeysuckle might be good for more interest. Don't discount ivy, great for wildlife by Nat4
