Bought a PH meter, not the most accurate thing in the world but it looks like I only have pH 7 soil.

So the Camilla hedges are out but there are s few non prickly flowering ever greens hedges that do on clay so I'll adjust plans.

Camilla? Our Queen Regent should really be put to some use, but hedging for us proles is a big ask. Camelias are virtually impossible to kill once established, try them in a little ericaceous compost to start them off and live your dream. If they fail, you can blame me, a complete stranger on an obscure forum (address witheld).

Lol 😂

I assumed I had to dig a massive trench with ericaceous compost as the rest around is all clay with ph7.

But that explains why the neighborhood has a few massive Camelias, they aren't AS fussy.

Berberia is a backup if needed, haven't found any Camelia here that aren't £££
