Hi

We have just taken down 7 conifers which was a nightmare trying to get the stumps out, and had a new fence erected the fence is 21 feet long I want something that will grow about 8 feet in height but nothing that comes out to bushy . With the ground being so dry I have treated the soil first with a bonemeal from the garden centre and then put down several bags of multi purpose compost it is not too bad now as we have had quite a bit of rain so the soil is quite soft I was worried with the conifers taking all the goodness out of the soil that nothing that I planted on the patio seemed to grow so would be grateful of some ideas.

Many thanks
Mollie
