Plant ID
Re: Plant ID
Nothing like a short cut .
Looking at a website specific to Echium: Echiumworld.co.uk which just says that multi-purpose compost is fine for this plant. It seems to be quite easy-going once you get it started.

Re: Plant ID
Yes Placi. I want to dig in some of that multi purpose compost into the soil. They sell it over the garage, or even a gro-bag will do. Will have to see what they got.
Edit: Got a gro bag over the garage this morning Sunday. Will dig that in to condition the soil.

Re: Plant ID
You can have some of the rain we're having right now, Willpar !!
Good luck with this very interesting project.

Re: Plant ID
Gave the plot a few cans of water last night. will do again for a few nights. Once we have some decent rain I can do some planting. And hopefully the wet soil will keep the cats off. Working so far.
Re: Plant ID
Following my immediately preceding post, Willpar, you can also have some of the cats round here !!
Re: Plant ID
Don't get as many as I used to Placi. But still, freshly tilled ground could be a good invitation. And I don't want my plants poisoned.
Re: Plant ID
Have planted the large plant the lady gave me now. Is a lot bigger.
The lower leaves seem to naturally die off the lady told me.
Will put the two blue ones in a bit later, one each side of that one. Plot is just about big enough for three.
