Hi there, looking for some general advice please. We've cleared a space at the front of the house against the garage (brick wall), which is now looking a bit bear, but the ivy was an absolute beast! (we inherited it when we moved in!) We'd like

know why they die? I should have thought box would be quite happy there. Agree about the artificial stuff. The green's not very realistic to start with and doesn't improve with time. My first thought was to grow a  shade tolerant clematis up an obelisk

hanging basket for my front door - what planst I could use? And what is the secret to a full and lush basket I see in pictures on net? Thanks! I live in the northeast, so a very similar climate. I used Bacopa, petunia, lobelia, ivy, nepeta, anagallis

.  Apart from veg, nearly everything in my garden is a perennial with the majority grown from seed (which can be a bit challenging, but I like that aspect!)  I do grow a few annuals, but mostly for fragrance and to plant-up a few containers and baskets

the fence on one side we keep inheriting bindweed, ground elder, brambles & bindweed from the other! Also ivy galore, invasive bamboo runners & lilac runners. They let tree saplings grow right next to the fence that lean on it & have cast the area where

THAT much digging to do for the brambles, question is, will it be the same for bindweed?  I have a horrible feeling that sends it's roots out and then pops up all over the place to strangle anything useful attempting to grow. So, peeps, who's had it

for any advice you can give. Kevin. You can grow Ivy as a ground cover, it would be hardy and thick like a carpet and take all sorts of abuse. Vinca might work.  Vinca Minor is said to be less invasive than Vinca Major.  It has pretty blue flowers. Vinca

To the side of my garage door (facing south-west) I have ivy growing from a small patch of earth up a trellis fixed to a brick wall.  I now want a change so the ivy has to go and have thought of having a hardy evergreen clematis in a pot

Hi Ive a got a large Privet hedge where section of it have died leaving just the bare branches behind. They are way to established to dig out easily. Can anyone suggest something (perhaps like an evergreen climber) I can introduce, to grow up

Got a bare fence ? perhaps behind a narrow border or lawn..... no.1 : Try growing raspberries if you've never done so before. Best to put a framework of wire on the fence. I use 3 strands. Raspberry canes are cheaply bought or if you know someone
