    Love all your downloads. I was encouraged by your video on forming your garden rooms after visiting the Estate.

      Thank you, I’m just editing next weeks video in which we return to Wollerton and speak with the owner and designer. A wonderful lady and very experienced gardener who offers great advice and insight, I hope to have it ready for the next video, like me you may get a lot from it! Thanks for watching

    Hi Jenny, good to see you are happy with out product! You should try our granular fertilzer (Grow) next time to stimulate growth. A box needs a fast acting fertilizer, rather than a slow release fertilizer. This ensures a faster recovery and a dense hedge. 💚

      Thank you for contacting me. Sadly, we have now got blight on some of our box. I will be removing some of the box that is infected in a bid to stop it spreading to other parts of the garden. I will try the product you recommended, are you interested in doing a collaborative video about your products?

      @@MurphysGarden No need to remove infected box as Health-Mix will burn the spores. Firstly clean up the box with a stiff broom to create airflow and space for new shoots to grow, then apply Health-Mix. If they are damaged badly you should stimulate new growth with our granular fertilizer. Great moment to test the products. You'll be amazed! We are happy to talk about a collaboration.

      Oh what great news, I thought they were doomed! Would love to have a chat and do a video following your advice and test it on the infected plants. I definitely didn’t spray every month last summer as I did the previous year (when I made the video) as I struggled to get dry days on a weekend when I was off! Can you DM me on instagram to discuss further
      Thanks

      Are you saying we don’t need to cut off the damaged leaves?

    • @MurphysGarden
      @MurphysGarden  3 месяца назад +1

      I previously cut off blighted leaves but Topbuxus recommend brushing off with a stiff brush, the reason being that the plant can regrow and recover faster.

    Considering the ridiculous price of this stuff it would be cheaper in the long term to dig up the box and replace with a different plant

      Yes, you are probably right except I love box and I don’t think anything else is quite as good. There are new blight resistant varieties now (see the RUclips Bunny Guinness video on the subject) which I would use if I was just planting out a garden from scratch. As mine is well established and most of it was free, grown from cuttings, I will just treat and hope for the best 🤞

      Yes, it causes no harm to wildlife TOPBUXUS HEALTH-MIX is a foliar fertiliser on a completely natural basis, without chemicals!

      Thank you. You might be interested in watching this video from Topbuxus ruclips.net/video/953MflkIlCs/видео.html
      which illustrates the effect of using the product. They also use straw or pine needles around the plants which stops rain water bouncing onto the plants, I might try this too - good luck
