South Gloucestershire

Available for over a year

Eric Robson and the team are garden trouble-shooting in South Gloucestershire. The panellists are: Bunny Guinness, Anne Swithinbank and Chris Beardshaw. This week we revisit two listeners' gardens, in Nottingham and Shrewsbury, as part of an ongoing series. Questions answered in the programme: How soon should I start removing the bottom branches of hornbeams to pleach them? I have a Pittosporum whose leaves are meant to turn pink - but they haven't, why? Tips for creating a rockery in a sunny corner of my garden? Suggestions included: Sun Roses and Rock Roses (Helianthemum) What can be done about my neighbours very invasive bamboo, which seems to prefer our lawn over theirs? How can I soften the edges of a concrete path cutting through a flower meadow? When and how can I prune into the hard wood of my Chilean Lantern (Crinodendron hookerianum)? How can I encourage my single-stemmed Aeonium to develop side stems? Produced by Lucy Dichmont and Amy Racs A Somethin' Else production for BBC Radio 4.
