    Is it coming to an end already ?
    I had hoped to put on some bare root laurel Paddys weekend but I don't know if they will still be available ?
    One of my trees has got a few leaves already ...

    We planted bare root hornbeams on the 1st of May last year.There were allready leafing,but they absolutely flew up.:D

    Soil preperation and watering the bare roots has alot to do with it too.;)


    Oh and look on Donedeal in the gardening section,and you will see loads of companies and nurseries selling all types of bare roots in small or large quantities.

    Quality of the soil,mixing in the likes of compost,manure or fertiliser pellets,as you plant the bare roots.Daily watering too.
