Conservatory vine
Pete Griffiths11/1/04 12:32
Hi, We currently have a new conservatory under construction, and have been given a vine (no idea what variety!). There are no planting holes in the floor, but I have heard that a useful alternative is to plant the vine outside against the wall, and train it through a hole into the conservatory. The hole would be large enough to accept the girth of the vine when matured, and would be packed with foam or a similar material in the meantine. Is this a sensible approach? (One of my concerns is mice!) It was the old-fashioned way of planting grape vines. They are in natural soil and receive rain water - unless of course you have to take a hand during a drought. Sounds a good approach to me. Of course, where you live depends on whether or not you would need to protect the roots in winter - I'm sure others can advise you on that. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon (remove the 'x' to email me) |
