Hi Charlie,

In pots, bamboo is the one I reckon. Can you provide any info on how I
should layer the pot inside....gravel, type of compost and feed? The
position is a little windy although the one potted bamboo I have there
has not suffered any significant wind burn this last year. Saying that,
it is snowing, windy and about -2 as I write this.

An additional question regarding the rest of my garden, when would be a
good time to layer horse manure on the beds? I have raised beds in
troughs all round and have a varied mixture of plants.

Many thanks.





Keeping the pot watered in summer and not waterlogged in winter is the
main thing, use a loose soil based compost and rig some sort of
irrigation line
