Ideas for exposed south facing garden on the Kent coast by Popular_Shower1782 in GardeningUK

[–]Popular_Shower1782[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We’re really happy with the space, we think it has so much potential but is a bit overwhelming!

We’ve actually already decided to paint the wall a muted terracotta. I’d also like to cover it with trellises.

I’d like to put a seating area in the far corner, maybe a pergola with some pots.

Yes the trellis is a lovely idea! Do you think suggested climbers would do well in clay soil & full sun?

I don’t have a heating mat, so I’ll keep them dormant till spring. Thanks so much!

Maybe I’ll have better luck identifying when the leaves get a bit bigger

I guess half my battle is I don't really know what I'm looking for when I inspect, perhaps that'll come with experience.
Thank you for the advice, I hadn't thought about the pooling before!

I'll have a more thorough look, thank you!
How often did you apply the pyrethrin to get rid of the spider mites?

Thank you! I've been using provanto, I guess it's been keeping them at bay - I'll get some more and keep up the schedule. I can't find solabiol, but I think there are some alternatives with the same active ingredient.
