Overgrown border
I have a border (4x2 metres) which is completely overgrown.
When I try to dig I get a tangle of roots. I think these belong mainly to an ivy growing on a low wall adjoining the border. I'm presently thinking of digging up all these roots, putting down some compost and manure in the border, and planting honeysuckle and wisteria against the wall, which now has a trellis above it. I'd prefer the ivy - which is quite a nice variegated version - to survive, but will not weep if it dies. Any advice or suggestions gratefully received. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland |
