FAQs

Q: How long does it take to plant a GOAR border?
A: Depending on the quality of your soil, a 10 meter border with soil preparation and planting should take around a day.

Q: Should I remove the pots?
A: Yes. We hope to produce biodegradable pots in the coming year, but for now remove pots and re-use them if possible.

Q: Are the plants a good size when they arrive?
A: Yes, we sell either 1 or 2 litre pot sizes which will produce a good plant in one season. Obviously the 2 litre will mature quicker but are a little dearer.

Q: How quickly does the paper biodegrade?
A: If covered in mulch or soil it should take about 3 months in the summer, longer in winter.

Q: How often do I water the plants once they are planted?
A: In the spring and summer 3 times a week minimum – once a day would be even better. Especially in sunny, breezy weather.

Q: Do I get exactly what I have seen on the website?
A: Yes, if you choose the ‘Low Maintenance’ border for instance we select the plants to look the same as the picture you saw, all you have to do is follow the markers on the magic roll!

Q: What if I want a curvy front edge to my border?
A: Follow the standard planting instructions, once finished shape your edge the suit and add similar plants in any gaps. For further information email antonyhenn@gardenonaroll.co.uk
