Not on your compost trail, Inge but if you're going in for ferns, they look
lovely planted in old tree roots if you can get hold of some. One of our
friends dragged out a lot of old stumps and brought them here for us to sell
for him. We pounced on 3 of them for our own garden. The only thing to
watch is that they will dry out more quickly.

That does sound lovely! Maybe when Pete retires we'll be able to move
to somewhere that big gardens come cheaper...

Well, you don't have to own Highgrove to have a stumpery. ;-))
One biggish one as a centrepiece or a smaller one in a corner of a warter
feecher would look good.

If you're becoming a fern fancier, you'd better start a compost heap and a
leaf-mould heap. Either will provide you with humus-rich material.

Thanks Spider, I'll almost certainly be able to get those at Wyevale. I
suppose I could also gather up the leaves dropped from the street trees
if I can get in before the roadsweeps do. I'm intending to publish my
garden photos soon, and I shall be inviting people to suggest where I
can put a compost heap without ruining the look of the garden (-:

A compost heap is a thing of beauty and a joy for ever. Make a feature of it!
