    Wendy as well as growing some climbing plants, have a look at Ilex ( Holly) which might act as a deterrent when it grows. Golden King female is nice, not too many spines and lovely red / orange berries.

    Gosh, planters are bigger than they look in the photos.

    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
  • Thanks all will take a look at Llex Holly too.

    Brian i will be making another post on baskets soon for my balcony, but i have to wait a bit image as i get very impatient.

    It will be great to show you all the large planters too when they are finished at least they will make everywhere look nice, as they were getting to look like a jungle.

    image It's a good time of year for talking about it Brian. Soon be spring I tell myself several times a day



    In the sticks near Peterborough
  • I think i need to know more about the soil, as i am intending too add more compost and dig  in, then if im planting any bushes should i use bone meal, as I don't really want to spend too much as this is a public space.

    I went on a site yesterday looking how much delivery was on bushes and was told i would need to buy about 5 different things just to plant a bush, now i have  no idea really but it did seem rather a lot of things for one bush image so my question is, Is bone mean good enough under a bush? Im in th middle of London with not many garden centres near.

  • I dont understand 3 months, what do you mean, the packet stuff from B&Q im talking about?
