Garden Projects and DIY

Great start! Really looking forward to seeing how this develops.

Just finances stopping me now. I need a tree surgeon to trim the huge holly at the back and someone to dig the big buddjlia and hydranger stumps out. Just two cottoneasters and a brut of a honeysuckle to dig out now. Ive picked all my roses to put in but they are £180 bare root! I am choosing...

Cracking idea and just the right level of perviousity - or some word like that! Cheap as chips too - I think that the webbing is always blinking expensive.

I had an incinerator bin once. It was a nightmare to light, looked ugly, and was smelly due to never being able to get good enough air flow for an even burn. That's when new. As they age (which happens quickly) they just get worse. Oh, and one day you go to move it once its cooled down, and the...
