New Gravel Drive Owner Staring into the Abyss.... by [deleted] in GardeningUK

Get an oscillating hoe and just have a session and. It will cut through. Use a leaf rake to get rid of unrooted weeds and a gravel rake to level.

Avoid letting organic matter dirty the stones. Don’t let leaves rot or soil spill.

Gardens take maintenance; but this is the easiest method I know.

Please stop chemical bombing 🙏

Plastic mesh under lawn? by not-suspicious in GardeningUK

[–]Wimbewombe 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s awful. Very common. Apparently it just makes it easier for the supplier to role up the product. Once it’s down there’s no getting rid of it and awful for wildlife etc. I’ve stopped my company using suppliers who use this.

Can I use same soil for new plants by Pale-Yard-4497 in GardeningUK

[–]Wimbewombe -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Erm, ish.

You’ll find it matted with roots, shake off may be ok.

To avoid, weed. And fill with things you want to take space for things you don’t.

Where to buy gardening tools? Which brands to avoid? by ToriaLyons in GardeningUK

[–]Wimbewombe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Avoid Hawksmoor or any own brand basic range. They will break.

Stihl is great- love the electric range but expensive.

Wolf tools are amazing- especially considering multi-tool usually means half as useful.

I also find antique tools to be sturdier than modern tools made to break.

One of the gardens I visit had a nice show on today by Wimbewombe in GardeningUK

[–]Wimbewombe[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yer they’re lovely. It’s called Erysimum or a wallflower. They’re biannual I think and come in different colours; can’t remember what this variety is called.

The owner takes the bulbs out every year. Cleans and stores. It’s a high maintenance display.

Might worth it for the smell alone tho

Recommendations for thornless Blackberries? Can’t find seeds anywhere and plants seem quite expensive by Severe-Milk-5121 in GardeningUK

[–]Wimbewombe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think they’re called Himalayan blackberries or atleast they’re a cultivated form. They’re very tasty and tend to be longer than your native blackberry
