Damage to Trees in Pavement in Madeira caused by the action of man during January/February 2019. Solution to holes in trees. Solutions to stop creating holes in trees. Solution to current problem on these mosaic pavements:- 166 trees in the pavements in a short section of a road in Funchal, Madeira are being slowly, starved, dehydrated, asphyxiated, poisoned by tarmac and concrete, burnt inside their hollow trunks, roots pounded by 40 ton lorries or shoes of pedestrians, and allowed to rot until killed off during February 2019 (see information in Problems with trees in pavements in Funchal, Madeira in January/February 2018 Page, which appears to have had no effect) as shown by my 433 photos in the following pages within the Home Topic:-

Pages 10, 11, 12, 13 contain information concerning the complete rewiring of my home, with the report by a qualified electrician about the result and his statement:- Unfortunately, any electrical work carried out at your home is your responsibility.
I am currently working on updating the Common and Botanical Name Galleries of the UK Wildflowers - 2 June 2021. Having discovered that the National Trust is deciding as to whether it will put plant labels for each of the plant groups in Sissinghurst Castle Gardens or not, I am disappointed to note that the current ones are getting broken, unreadable due to age or not existing at that garden. They also do have the manpower to provide these plant labels - They are currently looking for a head gardener to look after Sissinghurst Castle Gardens and other gardens with a total of only 8 staff. I have pointed out to the manager the lack of foundations under the paths in the garden and the fact that the concrete slab paths either side of the stone path in the middle going down the Lime Walk are all topsy-turvy. This means that people could fall over when they are wet from the rain - this is due to heave by the roots of the pleached limes. I have suggested that they lay weed control fabric over the existing ground where these conrete slabs and insert a depth of 4 inches (10cms) of Type I Rodstong, with 2 inches (5 cms) of sharp sand over the top before laying the consrete slabs back on top for those 2 side paths. Lift up the stone slabs from the central path and repeat the process. That is providing that the soil is based on sand not clay - if clay is involved then the Type I Roadstone depth may need to be extended to 8 inches (20 cms). Due to lack of money, there is no money to improve the situation until the possibility that the returns from this current year might make up for their losses during the last pandemic year and things might improve in the following years. It is a shame that the 250,000 visitors to the garden have to put with lack of safety due to this slipshod maintenance procedure as do the ones in the Wisley Royal Horticultural Society Garden in 2014 for the same reason. Wisley only has 1,000,000 visitors a year and after 5 requests it takes from April to November for the pivoting slabs to have some sharp sand inserted under them to stop that and then for that sand to grow grass by April the following year, indicating that there was no foundation under that path in the Mixed Borders bed even after repair. Why do institutions in the UK that have visitors to their premises ignore the correct installation procedure of providing access throughout their gardens as these minute organisations such as the RHS and the National Trust for year after year? One man and his dog do the maintenance at each property - unfortunately the man is still on holiday and the dog cannot keep up with demand. |

Plant Labelling - A suggestion for plant labelling to help visitors A different solution is that each gardening member of the RHS staff at Wisley be provided with Large White Plastic Angled-Head Labels which are 20 inches (50 cms) in height with a 6 x 4 inch (16 x 10 cms) writing surface and a Marker pen with Black ink to provide a good temporary label for the above broken label (in Lost Flowers page) or for missing labels. If you are concerned about these labels going on "Walkabout", then insert another white label behind the plant and make it invisible to the public. |

There is need Every flower crop grown reduces the organic content of the ground.

The millions and millions Liming Lime should be regarded as an essential except in very definite cases where acidity is demanded, e.g. the Lime not only prevents soil from being acid but it ‘sweetens’ it, as well as playing its part as a plant food.
