you could as well as weed sais get that split or hole rolls of bamboo.. i have done what i call outdoor pictures for a wall.theres one of oranutangs on my web site at www.noseypotter.com if your interested

On question - a blank wall

 

i wouldnt i would give it a chance.has an ants nest set up home or perhaps its just root bound and needs repotting.either way id cut the top growth right back and give plenty of water.bamboo is normaly a very tough plant unless it doesnt get enough water

On question - yellowing bamboo

 

you would be amazed how quickly gravel etc gets mixed up one way or the other.if your not weeding it there probably is something stopping weeds already.it still mite need changing after this time anyway

 

its definatly something else though dont know what.over strong feed kills pants though ive found russian vine is realy a bit to vigouras.left on its own it realy can fill a garden in its intiraty and some.it should be called rushing vine.its very work intensive as it grows so quick

On question - Russian vines

On question - pink wisteria

there are quite a few different sorts with different size leaves.mint will grow anywear and it looks lovley and healthy to me.

On question - What's up with my mint?

 

thats a personal choice but ive found they look far more beautifull growing how they want to.

On question - trim the branches or not

 

thats an interesting question .at a guess its either that a rambler goes in all directions and a climber tends to go up or like an alsation/germam shepherd dog its just another name for the same thing but thats just an educated guess.

On question - Rambler or Climber?

 

has it bean in the ground long enough to establish a better root stock as thats what plants do first before they grow leaves and climb

 

behave Llew i cant help it lol thanx anyway lol

 

sorry for my thick blond moment what do ypu mean about angel Llew lol.

 

ive got to let the water declorinate yet .building a pagoda out level withe the top and then im going to make my own trellis to fill the gap.im planting a blue wisteria one that i already have and im looking for a pink one the other side,ill train them to go round the back to the corner and over the top of the pagoda.i will keep the pictures comming especialy as it has to be my last sculpture and im just like that.a nutter lol but a nice one i think lol.ive got a 2000 gallon pond myself and i cant believe how many woman ,not men funnily enough ,want to make it into a pond.no chance infact if i moved into a house that had a swimming pool which is unlikely that would soon become a pond .when i began taking art seriously about 15-17 years ago a proper artist said if you do an amazing piece of art small no one will realy notice.if you did the same piece 15` wide you wouldnt help but notice.also it wouldnt be any harder infact quite the oposit.being as im a very all or nothing persen it makes perfect sense to me.in for a penny in for a pound.if your going to do something do it properly my dad used to say.after all how many people and plants,fish etc can you fit round a 4` pond compared to a 40` pond.i think it makes perfect sense.if i had my way it would be far bigger.then i could have 15 heads and a full size dragon if you see what i mean.thanx everyone for your support.i hate blowing my own trumpet theres no need so sorry if i sound big headed.take care bye for now.

 

thank you so much sue hope your enjoying the weather take care bye for now

 

there is a weed killer that attacks the hole plant from the inside i think its called systemmick but i cant spell as you will be chopping it down for ever.normal weed killer will just kill what you can see which is pointless in the long run.i think you have to actualy let your shoots grow a bit as you spray or paint depending on how close your other plants are.it allows more poisan to enter the plant and in its flush of growth now the sap for want of a better word is surging through your plant the most.i hope ive helped .im sure a a better gardener will explain far better than i have.take care bye for now.

On question - Creeping Thistle
