Plants require food to grow healthy. Just like you need your daily food to grow healthy and led a good life, plants need their food to ensure that they grow properly. If you have a garden, then you obviously will not like your plants to appear weak and frail.You can find out if your soil is...

Thank you All for your positive and guidance to get some plants growing up itSo ideas please and don't mind a mix I have planted some I've but s bit slow growing and going :-). So suggestions would be apricated thanks in advance Nick

Thanks. Just the lavender at the moment, hoping it'll eventually end up a bit like this below. As it's about half way up the garden I want it to be a fairly formal area, should be nice with the lavender scent and a glass of wine on a summer's evening

Good evening Sheal my friend my next plan of action is to decide what to do with the path that runs between the raised beds and the wall

It's good to hear the Knotweed is under control. Don't attempt to dig out the bindweed, if any piece of root is left in it will grow again, just like ivy does. Glyphosate is the only thing that will deal with it properly, you may still get some shoots come up but they are easily dealt with -...

I'm sure you know, but just a reminder to wear the safety specs if you're using power tools, just in case the perspex shatters

I'd put my money on it being a lilac too. Why not let it grow back? Also like Kristen says it's multi stemmed so won't give you the effect you are after.Also if you really want one of those fairy houses you could always buy an old tree stump from a tree surgeon or local nature park (don't go...

Ah thanks for that Kristen, I'll use weed suppressing membrane - I had considered that but wasn't sure if it was robust enough. The area of concrete they will be sat on currently has gravel on it so I will be just 'readjusting' where the gravel is spread to accommodate the boxes! the area is...
