New garden
The message
from "Glen Able" contains these words: Thanks ever so much to Kay and Janet for giving me just the inspiration I needed! There's a natural place to make a first division in the garden, 45' down, which also will nicely obscure the shed. I've done a mockup and it looks spot on. As for further down, I'll tackle that later... If I use some 6' trellis panels to do this, d'you reckon it would be nice to plant bamboos behind them? Be sure you choose a non-invasive variety. See Bamboo thread. Also, if I'm going to get some permanent climbers started off, will they play nicely if I mix in some annuals (sweet peas etc.) for quick screening? I can't think of any which won't. -- Rusty Open the creaking gate to make a horrid.squeak, then lower the foobar. http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/ |

Bamboos do have a reputation for spreading, so be a bit careful which ones you choose and where you put them. If you can mow all the way round they will have a harder job escaping, but if they can sneak along the bed you may want to put in a barrier to contain the roots. They can do the 'grow to 6 feet then stop' thing though, which is definitely handy! Also, if I'm going to get some permanent climbers started off, will they play nicely if I mix in some annuals (sweet peas etc.) for quick screening? Should be OK if not too closely planted and all are well fed, though some perennial climbers are quite quick in their own right - some of the honeysuckles for example, and perennial sweet pea is almost as quick as its annual relative for me. Another thing to consider- those rolls of brush screening. They don't last all that long, but they do make quite a good thing to put behind young shrubs, which will grow up and obscure them as they start to rot away.
