In article , Alex Woodward writes Perhaps I should give them more time to establish, or do you think there is a problem with the soil? I have to admit I have not tested the ph level of the soil - which is an obvious mistake I suppose. You can get some idea by what grows around. Do neighbours grow rhododendrons, for example, and what are your commonest weeds? My nearest neighbour has grown heathers quite successfully over a three year period. Flowering all year, or just the winter ones? Have you asked the neighbour whether they are erica or Calluna? Well, they are flowering now so I guess they must be the winter/spring variety. Though I can't remember seeing any of them withering during their first year, unlike mine. However, my neighbours are south facing while mine get a couple of hours of sun on a north facing bed. Ours are growing happily on the N side of the house, with early morning and late evening sun in summer, and no sun between Sep and March Pretty much the same conditions as mine are experiencing by the looks of it. I think that must eliminate that issue at least. Thanks. Alex |
