  • Planting a new border

    Forum post by wedge on 15 Nov 2008

My problem is that I can find lots of advice on what to plant, how to improve soil, maintenance, etc - but very little advice on when to plant. Plants will be a mix of shrubs and perennials (I think) Can anyone give me some advice? Read more..
