Good soil preparation is the key to a good start. Dig a trench 45cm (1.5ft) wide and 1ft deep. Dig in plenty of organic matter. Adding lime free gravel to the base if the soil is heavy clay. The preparation can be done the month before to allow the ground to settle prior to planting. Plant at the same depth as supplied. Mulch after planting, keeping mulch away from stems. Water well for the first two years.

    Good quality plants, well packaged for delivery. I have purchased from them before. There was a day's delay in the most recent delivery. It would be good to have messages giving despatch and delivery information.
