Wisley Alpine Log Feedback
admin:
Well done to you Paul. The number of "hits" is usually highest for the first few days of any new feature or update. I am certain it will be even more popular once more folk get to know about it.
Ian's bulb log is now famous amongst "planty people" and has been a key feature in making this site as successful as it is. I have no doubt the Wisley Log will be just the same!
Web sites are fine – but it's not "bells and whistles" that bring in the visitors – it's good, varied content.
Thanks on behalf of the SRGC web team, please keep them coming!

Its nice to be able to 'share' Wisley, a place I have been able to go only a few times. And I shall be trying one of those smoke thingies from Silverhills. What a good idea. Thanks Wisley for pointing this out. Hope they work.

A new log from Wisley on today... have you seen it yet? Really super pictures of the construction of the new alpine house... very swish building, indeed! One of those would look very smart here, and the Bulb Despot would like it, too. ::) I think it was a great idea to have the new "top" built to fit the existing footprint.... although this may have cost more in terms of money and lead time, the speed of getting the new structure in place must make up for that. The colour is a good choice, I'm sure. I presume it ( the metal frame) is pretty much maintenance free ?
Bit disappointed to see the fancy mowing machine being used in the meadow.... all those workers and not a scythe in sight... shame on you... ;)
Thanks, Paul and the Gang!

Forgive my ignorance, I have not been to Wisley.... I am assuming that the trees in the arboretum are planted in grass.... is this grass from the meadow then spread directly on to the grass of the arboretum, without composting ?

Paul,
Great to see such progress on the glasshouse, looks really great and I know the plants will look fabulous when you put them in.
Also good to see the team at Wisley engage in some hay saving but one question: why do English gardeners insist on using those short handled forks? Do you not have any with decent long handles?
Many thanks for the update.
Paddy
