Ground cover plants in a smallish plot
Hi all,
I have just taken over a small 18ft by 6ft raised garden at the front of my housing association flat. There is a front sloping wall at the front of it, and my aim was to have ground cover plants along at least the front of it, if they spread all the way back that would be fine. I have put pot grown plants in to hopefully have them quicker established! They are 5 Cotoneaster horizontalis and 3 Pyracantha Saphyr Cadange. As I wish them to be ground cover not bush type can I somehow pin the growing stems down to encourage ground coverage and to go over the edge of the wall, to stop children wanting to walk along the wall, which is in front of my window and drives my dog into a barking fit when they do. Thanks, Mick. |

Thanks, Mick. FWIW Stuart and I have already chipped in over in UK-d.i.y where this was posted first.
