Perhaps you should omit the compost?

I could chuck in a handful of tin tacks if it would help!

I was thinking more in terms of if you could build a brick wall half
way across the container - mine are real garden wall huggers.

We've planted them in a small, shaded bed with shallow soil against a
hedge; an open bed which is well-drained and raised with good, deep
soil; a south facing bed among shrubs and moist-ish; a very narrow bed
of totally shaded, poor soil up against the house wall facing east
bed. I've done everything with the damned things other than throw
them over my left shoulder while reciting To Be or Not To Be and garotting
a frog with my right hand.

You cannot be serious!!! The one thing..................

You see - I knew there was something........!
