Question

I am planning to take out the concrete at the side of the flags and fill with greenery. any ideas for cheap, low maintenance plants? Thanks

Answer 1

That will be a job and a half. Better off with some long narrow planters imo

Answer 2

Perfect for climbers

Answer 3

Use plant troughs instead of digging it up. Much easier.  

Answer 4

It would be a lot easier to use rectangular troughs and you could rotate bulbs like daffodils or tulips, bedding plants and veg say pea pods or runner beans up your fence, just a thought

Answer 5

I’d put long thin troughs in also . you get lovely wooden ones . sweet peas climbing up the fence . smell great too x

Answer 6

Right i was going to say ive put dirt directly on concrete before and just made a rock border to plant in and it was great.  

Answer 7

The concrete will be part of the support for the fence posts, lengths of wood to mimic a trough filled with soil would be lovely x

Answer 8

I don’t think there would be enough space for growing plants there, as some people have said some troughs would be better.  

Answer 9

Climbing hydrangeas, evergreen & so each to look after

Answer 10

Can I ask where you got that fencing from, not seen that sort before.  

Answer 11

Just use long planters otherwise you're just inviting weeds to grow in the gap. Geraniums are good long blooming value. Bizzy lizzies are cute and colourful. Campanula will spread and grow every year. Petunias have lots of lovely flowers
