Is it too late to feed? plants not even showing any buds just lots of leaves looking glossy and green? What have I done wrong??
I have a Camellia which has never flowered in the three years it has been planted. I have fed and watered it as per instructions. Lovely glossy green leaves always - but no flowers. Is it a dud and should I dig it up?
I have pet rabbits, and they produce a lot of manure.Can I use these manure pellets as fertiliser in the garden?
Hi Gerry, I have 3 or 4 beech trees that were attacked by rabbits but luckily enough i saved them.17My question is:The Beech trees are only about a foot high. Last year I cut the tops to generate growth but think I may have done more good than bad. This year they are showing signs they are still alive. I heard that if you cut the tops they stop growing. Is this true as I cut the tops of mine when they were only a foot high? Martin.
