    Hi guys!

    We've just bought a new house to raise our babies in and it has a lovely garden that I'm going to do my best not to kill in the first 12 months! :)

    I'm going to try to get my head around looking after the lawn, then its onto the hedges and many plants. So I've got a lot to learn and am looking for as much advice as possible.

    Rear garden faces west, front garden east. The soil is just about as clay as it could be... the whole area used to be mined for the clay for a brick factory!

    Cheers!
    Phil
