Planting of bulbs
After removing the lawn and replacing it with a lining then gravel would it be ok to plant bulbs below the lining, would the gravel hinder them coming through, the bulbs in question are...SPARAXIS,RANUNCULUS,ANEMONES and IXIAS.........cheers

Plant away :) Will the offshoots from the bulbs break through the lining where there are no holes - as in daffodils and crocus which spread and naturalise? I've never tried this. Gravel won't hinder the bulbs but I'm not sure about Mypex. It is, after all, a weed suppressing membrane! Weeds will certainly grow in the gravel but be easy to pull out. ....and the cats will be pleased with a new public toilet Aitch |

Judith Erm.........I assumed bulbs planted through holes in lining, not wishing to insult the OP's intelligence :) Yes but what happens when the bulbs create offsets? You know how e.g. Daffodils and bluebells spread and naturalise themselves? They might not be able to all crowd through the original hole! -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon 'We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.' |

However, I have been trying to get rid of bluebells for 2 years now. Still got them coming up under stone slabs, working sideways till they find a way out. -- Pete C London UK |
