Small spiders in new garden

Had a closer look and did a bit of a search on the net and it appears the nest I'm seeing may be aphids as they look like tiny ants…

Probably due to the warmer weather, but I've noticed more and more small spiders appearing in my new garden. Whilst watering the camelias this morning I noticed what looked like…

Which ANL Mulch

Nice Garden Mike.
Well, the plants are in,....and I'm absolutely knackered. I think my favourite section is the 17 x Standard Camelia's (yes, I have 1 x spare) at 1200mm centes…

Thanks Topiarius.
Sounds all nice and logical. But I'll see what happens when I actually have the plants in and I'm ready to trim. Based on this, if I was standing…

Thankyou for the feedback. I was a little concerned the landscape designer had inflated the numbers as he is also supplying these from his own nursery.
I appreciate your comments and…

Just want to double check my quantities.
1. Viburnum in 300mm pots to screen off a colourbond fence to 1.8-2.0m high? I'm told every 500mm.

Just spoke with ANL, and they suggested a product called "Planter Box Mix".($52/m3)
Their concern with the Cert Org Compost (Nassa Certified Re-build), is that it is not free draining enough…

Thanks for responding.
I've contacted both, and neither has exactly what I'm after, but they may have something suitable. Just need to find the time to visit.
Hope your hedge has come…

Yes this was my fault, the landscape designer was brought in afterwards for plant selection etc, all the "hard" landscaping components had been completed.
Anyone else got experience with either of…

Thanks for that. The soil is actually pretty good. The issue is that my front rendered fence is the lowest point where water collects during heavy rain. It pools quicker…

Thanks for the feedback. A landscape designer suggested drainage isn't a problem if water is draining inside a day. My preference is Murraya, but the wife is leaning for the…

Hi All,
Still doing research before we jump in with landscaping the new home.
So we've narrowed it down to Viburnum across the back fence and down one neighbour side. Camelia's down…

Hi, do you deal with Paradigm. If you do, and can offer super deals, I'd be interested in the Studio 100's, S6, and S8.
Just curious at this stage, but you…
