Well that's helpful. I'd better get a move on. I need to make a start with a bit of grass just to prove to myself it's not overwhelming. It's...
What about how it always used to be done - with a scythe?
Did you use weedkiller to get rid of the old lawn?
I'm a beginner and I've recently been experimenting with cuttings. I understand that when you're getting strong roots to form, the problem is room...
There's also the problem of how you can explain the right way to do something which took you months or years of trial and error to learn, to a...
Yes, I'd like to break the garden up into sections with different moods. Is your garden in the book?
Hey. Enough of that! :) Actually the neighbour wrote us a letter when the dandelion seeds started blowing over his side. Beautiful. Just like snow...
I don't think he named the client, did he? Nope. That's terrible so I wish you luck. I've had pushey clients (though not in gardening) who've...

Re: Sand Pit The babba is now a toddler and the question arises as to how it’s possible to do any gardening at all. So the next project was a sand...
Look at this. So many people thought this was great. (I hope Freddy doesn't mind me reproducing it). But why do so many people like it? [IMG]...
A super transformation.
Sun Flare probably exists so Sun Shirl.
Well, light the soil is not and it did retain the rain a couple of times so it could be that. Have to keep them potted next time perhaps. I...
Be nice if part of it was a wood - then I wouldn't have to do anything! Re: Vegetable patches. Anyway, before I could get on with my plans,...
Perhaps. I'm assuming you want the plants in there for aesthetic reasons. If so I suppose you've considered planting around the aviary rather than...
Should be OK - I used corrugated plastic because it's cheap but it doesn't concentrate the light. And it's never totally dry in there, of course.
I touched my open heap today on the top. It's as warm as a hot water bottle. I don't know what the crucial thing is, but when I started my...
Separate names with a comma.
