This appeared in my flowerbed. I think from researching it may be Bindweed I am not sure and I would like to make sure before I try to remove it. If it is Bindweed, what is the best way to kill it?
I meant to buy an ericaceous compost in the garden centre because I need to plant some heathers, but I couldn't see any. Could I use "Multipurpose compost with added John Innes?" It says on the packet that it contains "a blend of loam, perlite, course grit, sphagnum moss peat and fertilisers."
I intended to use grass clippings from my lawn in the compost bin, and also small amounts to mulch shrubs. However, the lawn was treated with Dicophar broadleaved weedkiller, so does this mean I can never use the clippings in those ways? Would there be a period of time after which it would be safe to use them?
I would like an identification of these two weed grasses. The first one could be scutch grass but I am not sure.
I purchased an assortment of fruit bushes from a supermarket and am not entirely sure which is the best way to plant them in the ground?They come in pots and are grown with small bamboo stakes surrounding them, I do not know if I need to plant them with the same small stakes or else add larger stakes. Attached is a picture of the exact bushes that I purchased.
I purchased a mixture of roses, some climbers, eg. ARTHUR BELL and other non-climbing varieties. I aim to start a nice rose garden but am not sure if the climbing varieties can be planted alongside the other roses or do they need to be kept a certain distance apart?
