Two years ago the team spent three days clearing the overgrown border next to the Provost's drive, see blog entry 5th March 2012 'The Provost's Drive'. Since then the weeds, mainly bindweed, have been controlled by regular spraying with the weedkiller Glyphosate, the final application being last summer.
Today Ady, Graham and Callum planted the border with the winter flowering shrub, Sarcococca confusa, Sweet Box, which, in a few years time, will fill the air with their fragrance, see blog entry 5th February 'Sweet Smell Of Winter Flowering Shrubs'. Once all the Sarcococca had been planted the border was finished off with the addition of a leaf mould mulch.
A WEED MAT exporter in India is a ground cover used to block sunlight and suppress weed growth in gardens and landscapes. Made from fabric or plastic, it allows water and nutrients to reach plant roots while reducing the need for herbicides. It also helps retain soil moisture and maintain a neat, weed-free appearance.
