We've had this query about a tufa garden and I thought it would be a good idea to reopen this thread with it ... it comes from Michelle Swann ....
"Help please. Any Ideas for Tufa Pile Revamp?
Any help you can offer us would be greatly appreciated.
What plants would you put between the gaps? We don't want anything that will dominate like we have at the moment. We are also towards the North of England.
What seeds would you propagate in the tufa? If you have planted seeds in tufa, what made you successful, or equally unsuccessful?
About the Tufa Pile
West Cheshire and Wirral Alpine Garden Society work in association with the University of Liverpool and Ness Botanic Gardens to promote the love of Alpines. There only have 3 volunteers that maintain the alpine area, but we will all admit that we are not the best tufa experts. We have asked if we can have a look at sorting out the Tufa pile. "
I hope that forumists will contribute their ideas ....
