Gardeners Corner Question Time

Thanks for the compliment. Actually the back garden has extremely low maintenance; it's the front garden, which is taking up my time at the moment. There's no grass in it (the mowing type) and I'm gradually covering it with plants (perrenials) as I can afford it but the weeds see the front...
