Border bushes
"Stephen (Sausagefans.com)" wrote in message ... Perhaps I should have not asked about Leylandii, it seems it might be less than perfect for the job. I would like to plant some bushes around the garden instead of errecting a fence. The idea is that I can introduce rasberries/blackberries etc to grow on our side of the bushes? I would like to spend as little cash as possible! Can anyone recommend anything? Raspberries and gooseberries are both thorny and fruit-bearing and like a bit of air through them. You could fill in the gaps with red, black and white currants, especially if you could train them sideways along a "posts and wires" boundary line. Also blueberries should do well (on the basis that I'm in East Anglia too and mine are growing really well) -- Brian "Anyway, if you have been, thanks for listening." |

Thanks -- Obey, conform, consume Break the cycle http://sausagefans.com Stephen, come over to Clifford cross's auction in Wisbech. You will be able to get everything you want very cheaply indeed. In fact I doubt you'll get it cheaper anywhere else. I bought my raspberry canes for around 30p each but since they require me to prune etc I dug them out and planted black currants and red currants instead . Got those for about 35p each too. |
