Richard Jackson\u2019s Double Action Weedkiller<\/a> I had to give it a go. On a warm summer\u2019s day this will kill your weeds in a couple of hours (depending on the size of the weed). And I love the fact that it is based on a plant extract from the pelargonium, known as pelargonic acid.<\/p>\nTo keep your plants looking their best you will need to feed them and provide them with the best situation to grow. Feeding your plants will ensure healthier and stronger plants. Good compost and soil is also essential. Remember that plants such as rhododendrons, azaleas, blueberries and heathers will need ericaceous soil as they are acid-loving plants. So get to know your plants and provide the right growing conditions for them.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Containers.jpg\")
Knowing what plants will grow in pots and containers is key to magnificent displays<\/p>\n
If you like to sit down when gardening then consider using containers, pots and raised beds for maximum effect. Remember though that pots and containers will need to be watered more often than plants in the ground, but you can add different height containers to suit your style and needs. Raised beds, raised planters or raised tables are a great way to bring the garden up to a comfortable height.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Pot-collection.jpg\")
A collection of pots by the back door softens the patio, bringing colour, scent and texture up close and personal<\/p>\n
If you position these around a seating area then when entertaining you can be surrounded by scent and colour, or if cooking on a BBQ then edibles and herbs in containers of any shape and size make them accessible. There really is nothing better than picking your own produce or herbs and adding them straight to the BBQ.<\/p>\n
Of course, your patio, terrace or balcony will look great with seating in some shape or form. If your space is small then consider two key pieces such as two comfortable chairs or folding chairs and tables, which can be put away to one side when you need to use the space. If you have the space then why not create an outdoor room with seating, dining table and chairs perhaps with outdoor rugs, feature lighting and garden d\u00e9cor to really set the scene.<\/p>\n
In addition, destination spots within the garden are a great way to entice you into the space. A pathway leading you into a space creates a child-like fascination and curiosity. Ideally pathways should be wide enough for two people to walk side-by-side, and if any family member or friends use a wheelchair, scooter or walking frame then you need good wide turning circles. Also, a raised edge to a pathway stops wheels and feet from ending up in a flower border. A couple of chairs with a solar light positioned in a secluded area of the garden can become the perfect oasis. Your garden becomes a fully immersive experience. Throw over a blanket and you can use the space even in the autumn or on wintry evenings. If you can enjoy your garden for 12 months of the year, then it really will become an additional room to the house.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Path-with-statue.jpg\")
Pathways lead the eye to different areas of the garden. A piece of sculpture at one end of a long walk adds a focal point<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/path-2.jpg\")
\n
Lighting brings a garden to life at night. Here in the UK we have a lot of dark hours, dull and grey days, and ideally you want to look outside and still enjoy your garden. Lighting key pieces will add drama and focal points, and garden becomes an immersive experience.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/lighting.jpg\")
\n
Also, solar lights, such as Luxform\u2019s Kensington lamppost<\/a>, which I have near my rose borders, require no wiring, and can be moved around easily.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/lit-path.jpg\")
Hidden LED strip lighting in the path\u2019s edging boards illuminates the gravel without causing glare<\/p>\n
Lighting within a border, partially hidden from sight, will add shadows and silhouettes which will be dramatic and bold. However, party lights and string lights can be used in a fun way, whether for children or for adults.<\/p>\n
If you like the idea of growing veggies or fruit but are limited on space, then consider a vertical garden. There are several on the market now, some even come with individual pots for plants so you can swap and change them around to get maximum sunlight.<\/p>\n
All vertical gardens need an irrigation system or either leaky hose or small irrigation pipes and nozzles, as well as a water collecting reservoir at the bottom. If you use a solar-powered pump, you can put the watering onto a timer during the day, and even add liquid feed to the reservoir. As the pump starts to work the water and feed will be forced through the pipes and onto the soil or coir. Vertical gardens can be quite high maintenance, but they can be made up of either ornamental or edible plants.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Fruit.jpg\")
\n

Vertical growing, espaliered fruit and herbs and vegetables make for an interesting garden, especially when tight on space.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
