ok so this weekend i redid my front border which was an overgrown
mess.
took out all the invasive plants like mint etc, and just replanted
the
shrubs i liked, honeysuckle, hebe's, hydrangea, hardy gernaniums,
azealas, rhodies, and a few other things i don't even know the name
off.

soil was very poor, and didnt have time to double dig so just added
compost to planting holes. also planted about 300 various bulbs in
spaces.

what is best mulch to use to improve growing conditions and should i
do
now or wait till spring?

Find out if your local council has a composting dervice and acquire
compost from them.

IMO it is best to wait till early March if you want to minimise
nutrient losses during the winter.

thanks 4 your help
