I have come round to thinking that and in fact sketched out a garden design this morning. I've planned beds and a little path, but keeping a small...
I talked to my mate today and she worried that weed killer would do more harm than good, a scorched earth approach. I mean, people do use it, but...
I talked to my best mate (a gardener) and she asked about what's in sun and what's in shade, I took some pix and basically, the back of the garden...
I do want to reduce the amount of grass, but I think starting from scratch is a good idea. I think seed is better in the long run, right? Great...
I do want to keep some grass because it's pretty! But I do imagine big beds will end up there. If the grass really is crap then I can address...
Excellent info! I am going to B&Q today to get a bit of spare paint and I am now adding shears, weed killer and a hose (I figure I need one) to...
Given the state of the grass, do you think I need new turf? Or it what's there rescuable? It looks like a load of weeds to me and the grass there...
Yes, definitely. I've asked my builder to give me her gardener's details, which hopefully she will do next week or the week after. I think...
I'm not bending at all. LOL! I plan on doing virtually no gardening (maybe the odd prune and snip) but I have a slipped disc so it's going to be...
Patience is excellent advice bc it is something I lack sometimes. I need to sit and learn and go to a garden centre and see what I like, and also...
I think having beds on the sides would be good? I don't want a courtyard to sit in really. As for the measurements, I took my tape and measured...
Because I have no intention of spending time in the garden (sun and my skin do not mix) what I want is a beautiful garden to look at and visit a...
I posted a compass shot in the thread, so you guys can see where the sun comes in. Not a huge amount of sun it looks like, either in England full...
Where on FB should I look for plant giveaways? I don't have a car, that's the issue really. I would need to get stuff sent...
Just under the window there is a concrete path, about 2 feet in depth, which runs the length of the garden - I plan to put a couple of chairs...
No car or access to one! Any plants would have to be delivered - though I suppose if I engage a gardener to do the job initially they can get and...
I do want some grass, yes. But borders sound like exactly what I'm after! But I don't think the garden gets a huge amount of sun bc of the fences...
Do you reckon? I thought they might look too big for the space but more so, I do want to minimise the amount of cost at both the outlay and going...
I don't like the way raised beds would look, the space is already small and I reckon they'd make it look smaller? But a path, I like that idea a...
Hello! The sun is on that side in the afternoon, if that helps? The fences are pretty tall, I don't think the garden gets a massive amount of sun....
