Garden Projects and DIY

Welcome to the forum Stephen. I wouldn't worry about getting all the smaller root sections out. From what I can make out from the 'before' picture those shrubs are not the type to regrow from roots. Also I don't see any need to get new top soil in, unless it's to build up the level to match the...

HI Martin, I have attached a photo, taken in the dark but you can see the small area im working with and it is shaded. Ignore the plant boxes and the bamboo - these need rearranged, bamboo isnt working - so will transplant into wider containers.I did post on another thread - thought my issue...

Wow those flowers look awesome!

I'm letting the hypertufa trough weather properly for a month or two before I use it. I understand from some instructions I found, that depending on how they turn out, you can or should give the concrete pots a second layer of cement on the outside, and of course, if you intend to use them as...

Welcome Back then.. Wow that is certainly a transformation, looks great

Hello @Snowbaby I had rabbits years ago and what @WeeTam as suggested is excellent with regarding rain...in the winter my hutches used to be put in side the shed

How to build a garden shed onto a wooden shed base with Wickes

Looks great. Such a big space to work with. If you want to fill a large area with attractive plants that will be low maintenance then you could perhaps consider a wildflower section or two which is also great for wildlife. I bought some stuff from these guysWe supply Wildflower Seed, Plugs &...

@CanadianLori It's good that you have specific officers in charge of that kind of issue, I guess it makes it easier to get some official help. If there is anything like that somewhere in the UK, I have never heard about it.Sorry to hear that house prices are so high in Canada too. I guess...
