A post to commemorate finishing my biggest and most complex project to date!
This new-build garden had it all: crazy PH soil, waterlogging, clay for days and leatherjacket grubs to boot!
I’ve added a tonne of compost to improve the soil, using no-dig to suppress the grass. Nematodes have treated the pest infestation and bog-friendly plants have been put where they will thrive, because some things can’t be rectified. I also found about eight golf balls during this job because it’s built on an old golf course.
The planting created a cottage garden border with lots of classic babes like hollyhock, salvia and foxgloves.
