About a week ago we put a mulch of bark chippings (Verve, from B&Q) around them to suppress weeds. The chippings seemed a bit damp and a little mouldy in parts, but when we had done, the hedge looked great. Then couple of days ago we gave it all a good watering with the hose, as it hasn't rained a lot.For reasons of hygiene and safety, personal grooming products, cosmetics or items of intimate clothing cannot be returned. Today we noticed that most of the young leaves on the new shoots had gone dark and soft. I rang Hedges Direct, who said that bark chippings can cause problems, as the wood may have been treated with various chemicals, which get absorbed by the plants.
Last month we planted a new hedge of variegated griselinia. We bough the plants online from Hedges Direct, and were very pleased with the quality and condition. The hedge seemed to settle in and be doing well, with plenty of rain.Conserves soil moisture, minimising drought stress and plant death and eliminating the need for excessive plant watering Provides an insulating layer, substantially reducing the effects of ground freezing and over-heating during extreme weather conditions
