Mixed Flowering Shrub Bed

Some of the work acheived yesterday...all grubbed out under, then loads of mulch, well watered, then bark topping to finish...A good finish I think, and will help moisture retention...

yes, good one! I am still deliberating on whether to buy chippings for my long border...it would look so nice over the winter...off I go to order it...you've persuaded me! :))

I am so glad I did Karen it looks so much better, and my Border isn't as deep as yours so can't really grow anything under, because of the roots...and it all adds to the soil....nice one...:)))

Thanks Pix...I've done the Evergreen Border today too, and moved four Shrubs as well...need room for a Skimmia, and another heather or two, when they arrive at our GC...lol....

Yup, it's ordered. Expensive of course, but will look nice and great for stopping the weeds coming back. Only one drawback really....blackbirds chucking it all over the lawn!! lol :))

Will be for you Karen...You've got some huge Borders there...I bought four bags...and i'm just about to start the last bag today, but I think I will still need one more..

Just glad to be busy Pix...x

I know Paul, in the Woodland bed the difference it's made is terrific...that's one of the reasons why I decided to do the long border...it gets so dry, the heat just gets to it big style...and the cats lay in it and flatten it and make it worse...so all in all it's covered all probs...:)))

Thanks H...It's tidied it up a treat...and I agree the benefits for the shrubs will show in time...
Mum always used to say, if it tastes horrible, it's bound to do you good...so we could apply that to smell too :)))

Aww are you not so good then H...just make sure it doesn't get on your chest...it's these swing changes in temps I think, don't you...anyway look after yourself...keep taking the medicine, :)))
