How do I get rid of horsetail weed?
Hi Gerry, I have a very large steep bank in my back garden and it is very difficult to maintain so over the past 5 years we are just letting ivy grow over it, which acts as ground cover and prevents weeds growing on it. I was just wondering if you could recommend anything that might kill weeds, sticky backs, thorns, etc on the bank but no harm the ivy? Many thanks
I have 3 young hedges, yew, hornbeam and privet and was wondering if grass clippings would be a good mulch for them.
Hi there, I have a mature planted bank at the front, but have a few persistant dock leaves and briars and grass that keep growing through, how can I treat these successfully without killing the shrubs. Don't know the name of the shrub, evergreen with purple berries. Thank you.
Hi Gerry, I have read that ammonium Sulphamate will kill off Ivy, is this true and where would I purchase it.
are grass clippings suitable to use as a mulch on privet, hornbeam and yew hedges? The hedges are quite young and i am trying to keep them weed free.
Can you kindly identify this plant for me please. Spotted on the roadside in a bogland area.
