Hi Shelley
Conifers can take all the moisture and nutrition out of the soil so that few plants can grow near them. Some of them can also make the soil very acidic which doesn't suit many plants.
What sort of conifer is causing what sort of problem?
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
i have some conifers that hangover my wall from next doors garden and i put some pots under the over hang and the things never grew in the pots under the trees but grew else where
I will take a photo tomorrow maybe you could suggest something I could grow there, that would be a great help 2 me ????????????????
Are the pots getting sun and well watered and plants inside the pots well fed all spring and summer?
I was thinking the same as Blairs
The area at the foot of a wall can be baking hot and in a rain shadow.
