Hello,

I have just joined the forum and I am completely novice to all things
horticultural! So I did want to say hi !!!!

My main problems are as follows and I hope and pray that some advice
can be found...

I have a beautiful curly trained bay tree (in a pot) which has been
healthy looking until recently. First a sort of black mould appeared
on the leaves which I sprayed and that helped, but also quite a few
of
the leaves are turning yellow and falling off. My gut instinct is to
re-pot the tree as it has been in the same pot for about 3 years now
and I have read about using John Innes No3 with added grit for
drainage... but can I re pot it at any time of the year?

My 2nd problem is a privet type bush (shaped but only small) I
planted
it next to a bamboo and the bamboo has taken over, when can I move
it?


Also, as you might now gather I am completely un educated in
gardening
matters so even the most obvious advice is welcome.

Thanks

Lisa

Hi Lisa,
In your message you said this: " First a sort of black mould appeared
on the leaves which I sprayed ". My question is what did you spray on
the
leaves and why did you use that spray?

Hi Gary, I cannot remember what I used but I used it on advice from a
garden centre.
