Re: Flowers and concrete
There is a carpark only seven inches or so under the back garden here not even broken up, concrete paths and Tarmac parking spaces it appears. The only problem we've had is we have to grow plants with shallow roots and we've had to prop up our flowering cherry as it falls over in wind.Re: Flowers and concrete
I imagine it will depend on what you intend to plant, Brian.Re: Flowers and concrete

Re: Flowers and concrete
Thanks everyone for some solid common sense thoughts, I have taken on board all that has been said and gleaned a plan of action from them. The new flower bed is 12 feet x 12 feet, I will dig out a narrow trench around the perimeter down to the chalk scatter the broken up concrete along it and refill adding the new top soil. That way if there is a problem in the future it will be easy to dig out without destroying the whole bed. Being the edge of the border it is where the shallow rooting plants will be so all should be fine. Thank you all again
