🍄Everything you need to know to successfully produce new Box plants from cuttings.

🍄Japanese Box (Buxus microphylla var japonica) is an evergreen hardy compact shrub with dark green oval leaves. Japanese Box or Buxus japonica is the best box hedge for warmer regions as it tolerates heat better than other Buxus plants. It is suitable for full sun to part shade position and requires little water once established. Plant 40 cm apart for hedging. 1m H x 70cm W in 3 years.

Buxus plants are a traditional favourite, as they are perfect for formal evergreen hedges. Small glossy green leaves on a compact dense shrub, make them perfect for clipping or topiary. They are relatively slow growing, and shade tolerant.

Growing Garlic. Adding blood and bone. Part 3


🍅 Subscribe here https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9wf... #growinggarlic #plantinggarlic #organicgardening 🍄I don't believe it. In the last video, I was out of focus and in this video, I lost sound. Hopefully, the last one goes off without a hitch. This week, the final step before planting, I'm adding blood and bone and racking it in.

Bananas about bananas.

I was stunned, so much about bananas, I didn't even think possible.

Well worth 14 minutes of your time.

Potting up my Dwarf Mulberry cuttings.

🍄 Should have done this a few weeks ago but today I'm 'potting up' the dwarf mulberry cuttings that have well and truly struck a good and healthy root system.
🍄I'm using 150mm pots to give the plants plenty of room to get established. 🍄 Fairly straight forward job, I just need to give them a watering and then some half-strength liquid fertiliser tomorrow. 🍅 What do you think of the intro? I learnt it from Peter McKinnon's latest video. https://youtu.be/x4ubUxPeXGs
