The original poster is in the UK - 'tip' is a British expression roughly
translating to a real mess :-))

Juliet, you'd be better served by posting this on a local forum, something
like uk.rec. gardening. The majority of the participants here are based in
the US and not able to offer much in the way of suggestions.

In NZ, a "tip" could also refer to a city rubbish dump
(landfill.)

Since I'm just a bit south of you, in Bellevue, Washington, I'll be your
translator. A "tip" is a place where you'd tip your rubbish, or in our
tongue, dump your garbage. Imagine a dump truck tipping its load on to a
heap, and you've got the origin of the word; "dump" is an equivalent in
American English.
