Planting best practices

Posted by Andy hansell on February 16, 2020 at 6:01pm

Hi all,

hope your all well after the adverse weather we've had?. Ive a question im looking for some feedback on, which is 'what is the best practice for planting'. The actual issue is landscapers putting down eco matting after planting. I don't see an issue with this, in fact its actually neater as it doesn't leave soil residue on the matting after planting and plants are backfield much better. Landscape architect has not specified either way, however an over enthusiastic contracts manager has other thoughts. So what's your thoughts, Ive been through Wittle College many moons ago but for the life of me can find no reference to this online.

    Can't help with your question, sorry, but when were you at Writtle Andy?

      Just a thought, if there is a landscape architect involved, can't you thrash it out with him/her? If they are happy then surely the contract manager will be happy?
