Mulching question
If wood chip mulch containing a large proportion of Leylandii is spread on
a bank containing some (ailing) standard roses but a wealth of spring flowers (snowdrops, crocus, daffs, bluebells) will it do any harm to the spring flowers? Would such mulch kill them off or would they poke they gaily painted heads up in future springs? The bank concerned is a hard edged river bank about 100ft long and 6ft wide. One end of this is overshadowed to a length of about 30ft by a yew tree where only the hardiest of weeds will grow. The remaining part includes little of value except the spring flowers, the roses havent been tended in years and probably should be discarded. Access to the bank is difficult and any material has to be taken through the house. I'm making my own woodchip using a lot of leylandii (about 50 to go) but also sycamore, ash, elder, cedar and general thinnings from around my fathers old place. Thanks Ray. |
