Brilliant borders
F OR the last 24 years I have been a gardener at Upton Country Park, Poole. So I thought it was time to to create a border in my own garden. The photos show what can be achieved in ten months, from spraying off the grass with glyphosate to creating a new 80ft x 25ft border. In December, eight tons of rotted manure was spread directly on top of the grass, then the worms did all the work for us, producing a friable soil ready for planting in May. Over 500 visitors came to our National Garden Scheme open day this summer! Paul Guppy, West Moors, Dorset
Crazy winter…
