How to increase privacy in the garden with plants 

You’re welcome Jordy! Happy gardening. Lee 🥷🤘🌿

Hi Nikki. Eventually they will either need to go into the ground or a large raised bed. I’m the summer in pots you’ll be watering them most days and then I’m the winter the wind could blow them over. Tying them to a frame would be helpful to prevent this! Good luck and happy planting. 🥷🌿👍 Lee

Al Edwards thanks! Glad it’s helpful. Well if there’s cold Ale and some Cornish pasties I’ll be there! Haha. 😂

I have devoted my entire working life searching for the perfect Cornish Pasty and Cornish Ale, many years later I think I have finally succeeded 🤣

Hi Kevin. They’re grafted so shouldn’t get much taller but the crown of the tree (top bit) will bush out. So it’s really about how much you want to keep it in check. It will probably put another 2 ft on if left but if you keep them pruned each year or so they keep their current stature. If you’re looking for birds in particular maybe choose a mix with some trees to at produce fruit or berries. Rowan are great small trees with berries for birds and great autumn colour. Hope that helps. Lee

Hi Madeleine! Hello over in Texas! Bet you’ve got warmer weather than we usually have! Happy gardening. Lee 🥷🌿🙌

Thats tropical over here in the UK!! 😆🥷🌿

Hi Nick. As with most herbaceous plants. Germination can be erratic and slow. Campanulas can take upto 8 weeks. I never use electric propagators I’m a bit old school. However if they’re being kept at around 18 degrees either in the propagator or inside the home they should germinate. Most issues with growing seed come from two mistakes. 1-Sowing too deep / over covering. 2- Overwatering. I’d give them another couple of weeks. Don’t keep them saturated with water either. They should germinate. Maybe start some more if you have any now just in a seed tray inside. The seeds are tiny so a very light covering or vermiculite may help. Hope that’s of use! Happy Gardening.

😂 you crack me up!

@@Gardenninja I'm sorry lol. Just bought a house that has a bit of a over looked garden. Checked for ideas on RU-vid and your channel popped up, after watching about a hour worth of your videos you've got a new fan. But you do look like Lee Hendrie though. Thanks pal. Looking forward to following your channel.

Not to worry! I’ll take that. Better than Steve O from Jack Ass. Haha. Glad to hear the videos have been helpful. My blog www.gardenninja.co.uk has a lot more detail as well of design examples and other articles. Thanks for subscribing! More to come. Happy Lee Hendrie I mean..gardening!

Hey Nathan. If you search ‘half standard trees’ on google you can find suppliers. Hope that helps. Lee

Garden Ninja Ltd thank you, my neighbour at the bottom of my garden has just removed several conifers and it means I have lost a lot of privacy. The garden isn’t very long so I need something that will block the view but also not take up a lot of room at a lower level if that makes sense

You’re welcome! Happy Gardening Rob. Lee

Thanks! Mohawks forever!! 🥷🌿🤘😂

Great tips Marty. Unfortunately sometimes I’ve got to plant in the middle of the day! I wish I could plant after the sun!

Thanks so much! 🥷🤘🌿

Glad you like it!

About 50 years! 😂😂😂 It’s a low growing shrub so you’re better choosing a more fast growing shrub. Try Cherry Laurel. Checkout my hedge planting blog link in description for more suggestions. Good luck! 🥷🌿🙌 www.gardenninja.co.uk/how-to-lay-a-hedge/

Really

Thank you for your advice I think I will have to pull them back I already plant them 🤭

I order Cherry Laurel will have to pull buxus out 🤣🥴🥴thank you for your advice 👍👍👍👍🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝

@@Gardenninja 👍

Thanks! Happy Gardening! Lee

Hi Crossbow. Have you seen my Hori Hori Guide? That shows you how to remove weeds quickly. Especially tap rooted ones. Hope that helps.

Hi GA. well yes I can’t do anything to remove that no matter what plants or screen you try and use. You’d cause more shade and harm. However the guide is showing you how with careful plants you can break up and distract from a view. Building fences higher and higher is never the answer. But careful border design is! Happy gardening. Lee 🥷🌿

Thanks Debbie. I really appreciate the feedback! Happy Gardening. Lee
