Gorgeous roses Kyle - especially that orange one. It really GLOWS....

Oh my they are just amazing Steve.. Now one of those in your garden or lottie would be soo cool.. I would like one to convert for extra accomodation too.. A guest house... It would have to be crane lifted over the house though if I wanted one for that...

Hi BB, welcome to Gardeners Corner I think you could prune it back by a third without doing any harm. Keep the pics coming and the gang will help out.

That's looking good clum. I was only wondering today how you are getting on. The planter is looking cool in that black. So what is going in your planter ? I like you potted plants, and that wisteria looks really good. gazania

Hi Keith You could put stakes in, then put trellis up and attach the screening to that? If you fasten the screening behind the trellis then you could plant a fast growing climber to cover it and look pretty

Oooooo I know what I shall be getting the OH making this weekend we have left over deckboards from the dog run lol he will be a busy boy

I think so Scrungee as to it being shady, the only part of the garden that isn't shady is next to the bordering garden and they have kids who like to play football (and their not very good) so I wanted to try and keep it away from that side I think it will brighten up substantially when...

Certainly amazing Eddie..

Good evening Freddy and Watergarden many thanks for you kind reply,s.Watergarden I will do as you suggest and go for Willow,your help is very much appreciated my friend.

Your compost will run low in nutrient in planters after cropping so will need feeding/re newing eventually.

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...

I know where you're coming from our Mon. Good luck with it

Steady now, Aesculus, let's not get personal!!!

Mine are in clay and I simply empty up for winter and overwinter the plants in the pond or greenhouse .plus mine have never overflow , the water evaporate very quick.

Something that might be worth considering............ 'Barrowmix' Try searching for it, their must be something similar to near to you, they are great! Phone them up with your dimensions and they'll give you a price over the phone. Next thing, they'll turn up at yours with in their lorry...

Jack, yes the price is correct. The blocks are made of concrete, not the same as bricks, which is why they are cheaper. I have priced them locally. The present wall has already collapsed, as you say at one end, it is also beginning to give elsewhere along it's length. I can assure you the...

I reckon sheal is right Nick & something better will come along..!

Personally I wouldn't 'paint' the slide with anything. If you want a truly durable finish begin by smoothing off the surface with a fairly coarse wire wool, and keep sanding with finer and finer grades (raising the grain between each sanding) until you're down to 0000 by which time the surface...
