thanks guys, ill try the weedkiller and bagging technique. have been ripping it up for months, but as others mentioned, it just grows back from the tiniest root left. wouldnt mind if it stayed as a ground cover, but it winds itself around other plants, strangulating them, even preventing their stems...

Hi

Can someone please ID this creeper for me. And if someone can tell me how to kill it alone, I would be so happy!

it has invaded the entire garden, strangling every single plant!

Your ensete leaves look pink? theyre purple, and green and yellow. funny you should say that though. The peruvian lillies that im growing inside the conservatory are indeed light pink. I took one of the pots into the garden, and the leaves darkened to deep purple quite quickly. Perhaps its the filt...

its amazing what can happen in a few months. but right now, im thinking im gonna run out of space before the end of the year in my conservatory. The ensette just keeps sprouting leaves one after another, around 2 a week currently. The musa basjoo is also growing quickly now, as are the alocasia, col...

Well those edoes and colocasia i planted certainly seem to be doing well in the hot weather in the conservatory! Im afraid the colocasia, which i placed in the fish pond, is going to take over everything! it wont stop growing!! fell over a couple of times, ive kept it in a small pot, but its just gr...

cheap doesnt have to mean tacky. If he used a empty tomato tin with the label removed, he'd have a lovely chrome effect spray head.

so bottom line .... it's called nemaslug and not nemasnailslug ...it only works on slugs .... buy the blue pellets it's cheaper and it works for both snails and slugs when you bought the nemaslug, was it in a fridge? :wink: Apologies, i thought we were mainly discussing slugs. I dont have so many s...

nemaslug is only effective in late winter/early spring (best time to use it is approx around valentines day) .... the slugs and snails are now above ground, so it's a waste of money applying nemaslug now I have experemented with all sorts of stuff, including coffee grounds, garlic spray, grit etc a...

Im using nematodes in my indoor raised beds that they managed to climb into. If sprinkled into the ground, its meant to control and kill them in the soil for up to 6 weeks. It says one pack treats 40msq but not sure how effective it is outdoors. its killing them indoors, but have to keep the soil mo...

These are all in the conservatory and growing fast. I guess its cheating, but at least you get better temps in there :) Bananas and hostas now kicking off big time. The jasmine and cestrum nocturnum are flowering or almost flowering. Clematis scrambled up the trellis like mad, I needed something to ...

id like to keep it potted in a heated conservatory. might try and source one. Only found one source so far, Burncoose, and reasonably priced, but shipping takes it to £30, which is a bit much.

Some of mine are almost 2 metres tall...so I better see some flowers this year! They are two metres tall already :shock: , or will be eventually? What do you feed them? I got some starting from seed, a few that i potted up eventually started to move slowly. best growth is in ones i left in propagat...

You think delavayi is a scented as fragrans?
Would you say it fills a room, or its something you have to smell at close quarters?

Hi Does anyone actually have a Osmanthus fragrans growing in the UK? ( Not necessarily the aurantiacus variation) I ask because it seems incredibly difficult to locate anyone selling it in UK, though many are selling other types of Osmanthus, but i believe the "fragrans" is the most heavil...

hahaha... we've turned into gardeners talking about their guns! im looking for a double barrel smith&western spray gun, with silver etching! do we need a license to carry spray guns? Ill look into the models you mentioned, sound just the bits i need. thanks all. edit: found a rifle! http://www.e...
