    Hi Folks,

    My name is John, just joined from Ireland. I have a 1 acre new garden I'm in battle with...actually it can't be described as a garden yet, more a derelict site. Hopefully I'll get lots of ideas here to shape it into something I can be proud of!

    John.

    Thanks for the welcomes everyone! Yes, I must take a few photos of the "garden" and post them up...you'll see the magnitude of the task I have ahead of me!:) Hopefully I'll pick up some tips from some of you seasoned gardeners!

    John.
