Horticultural Grit

  • Thanks Everyone - much appreciated.

    The area has just been laid to lawn and I want to create some different planting areas. I also want to plant my potted trees - they've all been in pots for approx 13 years and getting too big.

    A Wollemi Pine, Ginko, Monkey Puzzle, Acers, Ferns, Palms, but worried about the soil and drainage - hence the HORTI-GRIT. They've always thrived in pots - but becoming increasingly difficult to manage as they mature.

    I'd like to add to this and also seasonal colourways (this needs a bit of research!)

    Thanks again

  • 13 years!.. crikey...some of those trees must be quite a size?!
    Are you in the UK?
  • Yes - all grown from saplings - costs a lot in pots! They get lots of care - hence the need to plant them correctly when we put them in the ground. :)

  • Any photos?

    Unless you live on a big country estate, i wouldn't plant a Monkey Puzzle tree in the ground.
    They grow into huge trees.

    As do Wollemi Pines I believe.
