Othannopis Cheirifolia

Question:

I am trying to track down a plant called othannopis cheirifolia often found in Majorca and does it have a common name.

In a fruiy growing book I ahve it talks about using Bifenthrin and Rotenone for attacking different types of insects and fungus on fruit bushes and trees but I cannot find it in UK do they come under a different name in UK?

When dogs urinate on lawns, it scorches the grass causing brown patches to appear. Both male and female dogs can cause this damage but whereas male dogs urinate in small amounts in lots of different places, female dogs tend to urinate in one place concentrating the damage in one spot. It is the high concentration of nitrogen in a dog’s urine which, in large amounts can result in dead patches of lawn. The best solution to this problem is to add water to the affected area as soon as possible to dilute the urine and neutralize the nitrogen. Adding horticultural lime or powdered gypsum to the water will restore the pH level. In the long run the bare patches will usually green up by themselves, however, the likelihood is that the grass will be replaced by clover or moss making for an untidy lawn.

If it has a base then the roots will remain restricted and the plant will stay reasonably small. As long as it is kept well watered and mulched in the autumn it will probably do well but will never reach the size of those grown in the ground. If the raised bed has no base then the plant will effectively be growing in the ground and could, eventually outgrow the bed. You will have to keep it in check with hard pruning, but as this helps flowering then it’s not a bad thing.
