roll of wire mesh around the plant, hay compressed inside the mesh, and fleece around the outside
thats what worked for me last year
and its getting close to the time to add autumn lawn feed (it makes a huge difference and is worth the few pounds, especially if you sacrify and aerate aswell) .... I normally do this in october
late october, I add well rotted farmyard manure (bought in bags from the garden centre) as a mulch around the base of shrubs and plants

Re: The September garden plan.

I figured that my choice will fit as the leaves are being bent over the crown also the log is only small.
Ordered, due next week so plenty time.
Kata watch that tent, look at my experience with it
