My clematis in full bloom. Bought it last year as a scrawny rescue plant and it has thrived in a large pot against a north-facing wall (the seaweed feed might have helped!). I don't know its name but it's a group 3 for pruning. #Clematis#FloweringFriday#Gardening
@JimmyB I use seaweed meal and liquid seaweed feed in all my pots and raised beds. The compost mix is 60% Sylvagrow peat free compost (the variety enriched with John Innes) and 40% enriched garden topsoil.
@junesim63 So compost is a real issue for me: I live in #Jersey and the commercial options are limited. It's more expensive than on the mainland, and what we get varies in quality enormously.
However, I'm next to a beach so have an unlimited supply of seaweed. My preference is to find a time though when there has been a storm leaving a big bank of weed at the top of the beach, then smaller tides over the next 10 days say, & lots of rain to wash salt out. Which is a bit specific!
