It can often take a couple of years for it to settle in, give it a nitrogen feed in spring once new growth starts. Which one do you have?

That's great, I'd love to see the gardens over there.

It certainly is

@RedCoin91 thanks, I hope you enjoy future videos.

@@upatgrassybottom9859 I'm going to binch watch your videos. May In ask what soil type you have? and PH? In which zone do you garden? Sorry, lots of questions.

@RedCoin91 I'm in the uk , I garden on a chalk base, but it has a good moisture, retentive soil, with clay in one part, I never test pH as most plants we can get hold of are good for us.

@@upatgrassybottom9859 Thank you 😉

@@RedCoin91 you're welcome

It's bigger than the average garden, but quite manageable.

You're welcome

Thanks, I do enjoy taking you all around my garden

Anamanthele lessoniana, it's in this video.

@@upatgrassybottom9859 Missed it so sorry!

Its around 51 minutes ​@sarahjones-jf4pr

You're welcome, I love talking about grasses.

They are handmade like bricks. They are from a very old farming estate where they were likely to be used as hardcore. They are clay.

Reclamation yards usually have them

Yes im not impressed

Hi, firstly are you sure it's little zebra? This one only reaches around 5foot. The rain will definitely cause problems, but it should be fine once dry, miscanthus zebrinus is notorious for flopping. Have you been feeding it ? This can cause a fast, floppy growth and never burn any grass back . Just cut it back to the ground around February (uk). Are you in the uk?

Yes, im pleased with it.

Yes, they are fab , easy to control as well.

Do you mean on film?

@@upatgrassybottom9859 yes please, I saw it on one of your videos about a year ago so bought one from a specialist nursery and it’s looking great in our garden here in Wales. Very pleased with it. Just wondering how yours is doing, but don’t think I’ve seen it mentioned on one of your tours lately. Cheers

@@Piffled0 I'll do a short video at the weekend and show other grasses too

@@upatgrassybottom9859 thanks very much. Love your garden and appreciate your knowledge. 👍

@@Piffled0 thanks

Lay the screed approximately 4 inches deep, put down enough screed to do a couple of rows at a time, only compact it gently with a spirit level, lay the tile on in rows using the spirit to make sure it's level, use a rubber mallet to get level, lay the tile immediately don't wait, the screed will set hard over the coming days, avoid walking on it for a couple of days. Hope that helps.

@@upatgrassybottom9859 Thank you for your quick response. Any particular reason why I should only lay sufficient screed for a couple of rows at a time? I would be concerned about then being unable to maintain the same level all the way up the path. If there is no rain forecasted, could I not lay all the screed for the whole path and then lay the tiles in the way you advise?

@Peter-r2s I actually did four rows at a time, the reason is you work backwards to avoid treading on the tiles or bricks and you need to be able to reach to lay them , the screed needs mixing dry so don't add water.

@@upatgrassybottom9859 Understood. If you don't mind, I may have to get back to you with further questions. This is my front path from the gate to the front door so I don't want to get it wrong!

That's fine ​@@Peter-r2s

Go on, Sarah, put in a fargesia.

What you aren't aware of are the roots around it, I'm still considering this change.

@@upatgrassybottom9859 Ahhhh true! Good point! That might make it harder.

@@brocktoon8 I'm still going to test if it's possible

Thanks lisa

If your bamboo is flowering, it's likely to die. It's what they do.

I think so too.

Thank you too

Thanks

You're welcome

Yes, they will, but fewer flowers

Thanks, but I've been gardening 40 years . All my gardens have been uniquely me, as with art, everyone is entitled to an opinion, I'm not looking for ideas as I'm quite good at gardening and I'm certainly not a professional film maker, I use a phone camera on a gimble, maybe a link to your RUclips channel on gardening will help 😀 Thanks for watching

Thank you

Thanks, I'm not sure about the dark gravel either, but I like to cover all options

Thanks

Thanks for looking,

Thank you

There is supposedly a very dwarf variety called cortaderia 'Tiny Pampa gold' that's variegated, I've never seen it, but I have a green form called 'Tiny Pampa', it really is a small version, larchcottage.co.uk do a gold mini pampas, hope this helps

Thanks Pete

Try knoll Gardens for the veronicastrum. They do mail order.

Thanks

Yes, I agree it does. It just kind of happened, I think from time to time, the hard core is exposed, which is a light colour, and the posts are kind of groin looking like the ones on the beach.

Thanks Lisa

I would lift the whole plant to get them out from underneath, then replant, remember to water ut back in, which grass?

Betula Trinity College is small to medium. Early pruning will greatly help, and don't be afraid to remove larger branches at a young age. If you're in the uk, it's better to do this once the leaves are on so late spring. Look up pictures of your preferred shape and use it as a rough guide. Make sure it's anchored in until its roots settle, they are shallow rooted so shouldn't cause a problem to your property, make sure it is well watered in its first couple of years , don't overwater it either. If you check out some of my videos, I explain how to prune without compromising the overall shape. Hope this helps...

@upatgrassybottom9859 thanks so much I've been too busy enjoying your garden tours but will def find the pruning videos now that I know they are there. I was always on the understanding not to prune a birch in spring and winter because of bleeding? And only to late summer prune. I now dream of a birch the same as yours. Can I take out that main leader? Or will another branch grow twice as quick to take over? I really appreciate yoir time thank you. I've found you on Instagram now too so will have a good look at your account later. You've worked so hard on your garden. It's amazing. I'm after more of a cottage garden myself, but some plants that you have will definitely look interesting in my garden too. Thanks for putting the names of plants on the screen. I can pause and Google them. Best wishes davena in the Midlands in the uk

Hello Davena, the sap will have stopped rising once the leaves are fully formed, you can remove the leader, your tree will use another main branch as a leader but you can cut this down by a third, keep checking it every month or so and keep trimming in any that may become the next leader. Hope that helps.

@@upatgrassybottom9859 thank you

You're welcome

Thank you, I've filmed a few 🙂

@@upatgrassybottom9859 I can see. Exciting for me!

I'm pleased you like it, thanks.

You're welcome!

It's my slice of paradise

You're welcome. It's my intention to show plants that are so often unknown

Hi , there are lots of things to affect the grass, and wind will damage some of them. The grass goes through different looks as the year turns. They are prone to rust on the leaves in damp environments. The seed heads go through different phases but eventually turn to a straw colour, at which point the leaves will fall away, leaving a stiffly upright look to the clump, any breaks should be removed, there should be plenty of stalks so it should look better, each season gives a different look, this is what gives this superb grass a long season of interest, my calamagrostis is tidied up when needed, please don't be put off by its look as it sounds like your planting is relatively new, it needs time to mature, I'll do a filmed explanation in my next video to help you out.

@@upatgrassybottom9859 sounds great, thanks for the reply, yeah this is their first year, maybe I watered a little too much, we’ll see

@estrome8538 I've done a RUclips on it in detail. It's yet to be edited but should help you.

If you're not from the UK, I'll forgive you🙂, it's named after a sweet Google it...

@@upatgrassybottom9859 Ah! So it looks like our US "Life Saver" candy. Thanks, I always thought it had something to do with the sport polo - haha! Makes more sense now!

@@brocktoon8 I like to name everything 😊

Thanks

Thanks. I really appreciate your comments
