west facing shed wall
« on: October 18, 2012, 20:29 »
I am looking to plant someting against my west facing shed/greenhouse wall. I have a 2yr grapevine in the inside wall  (which will be maintained to a total of 8ft width with only 2 tiers) . I was considering seetpeas/runner beans or if possible a morello tree (2 yr old)  fan trained or any other suggestions?.
Will the vine leave any nutrients for the other plants?

Do you mean that the vine is on the inside of the west facing wall, and you are considering planting something on the outside of the same wall?
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

I am not an expert on vines but I would definitely have concerns about growing another permanent plant that close (i.e. the cherry).  Their roots will grow and compete significantly for nutrients and water.

Beans / sweet peas are also hungry plants so may not thrive either.

I would also have concerns about the shade cast by one plant onto the other - but that may not be too much of a problem.

Thanks for that Yorkie, I think I will probably just use it for the water butts now.
