Finally scream referee insults at it at regular intervals. During the week get your dog to pee on daily. I think you will find it will flourish under these conditions and not notice that the rest of it's mates have taken an early bath. |

Do I put soil or compost underneath. Any help is appreciated It is a whole bunch of plants. They need growing medium, water, sunlight, and occasional feeding. I'd put some compost in a seed tray and embed it firmly, and keep it watered and in sunlight. One of those outdoor plant trough things that cost a fiver from garages might do the job too, at the cost of more compost. You won't be able to mow it, of course, but a small pair of shears or one of those electic hedge trimmers (spit) might do the job. A bit of lawn food every spring would keep it happy. |

PS Make sure it can drain after watering it or after it's rained upon. Keep watered in dry spells. If you're really, really sentimental about it, propagate it! -- -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com Shrubs & perennials. Tender & exotics. South Devon |
