Are alpines back?

Behind the scenes of making an alpine trough for @itvloveyourweekend

This was quite gung ho, sheltering from the rain in the back of the van! The plants will really start to settle in over the next growing season.

Plants kindly donated from @kevockgarden - a real mix of some beautiful alpines.

A few of my favourites were -
Daphne ‘Tichborne’
Sisyrinchium ‘Devon Skies
Erinus alpinus
Sempervivum calcareum
Sedum spathulifolium ‘Purpureum
Leontopodium nivale subsp. alpinum

The trick is to be restrained with your plants and rock selection and to not over fill it. Good drainage is also essential!

The salt glazed trough and granite setts are reclaimed and bought @tobysreclamation and the slate was also second hand from my good friend @ac_roofing_services

No plugs or taps needed! 💦

I’m always getting things filthy from gardening tools to bikes, so I thought I’d put the @stihlgb RCA20 cordless pressure washer through its paces.

I only do Ads for products I genuinely like, and I wanted an excuse to look like a rad dad. The best thing about it is that you don’t need mains power or water, so you can use it with the bladder or a water butt. You can also plug it into a tap if you’re cleaning things at home.

It has a lance extension and a detergent bottle included in the kit. It also has multiple spray settings and an eco mode if you need to save power, but the AS batteries charge very quickly.

Definitely a great fit for my lifestyle I’m often away from water connections and seem to get everything covered in mud 👌

Pruning topiary is the most satisfying job.. 🪴

The key is to prune more often than you think and you will create a dense plant with few holes. There is something to be said for leaving the shaggy new growth for a while though, as it looks great!

These Yew topiary balls had only been planted this year and were long overdue some shaping. They looked fab in the summer against the grasses and perennials, but I love that they’re going to provide structure even through the winter.
