Personally I'd like to see smaller "bulk bags" which would be large enough to take a reasonable amount of stuff but small enough to be loaded into...
Ivy absolutely will damage your fence in time. It'll take a while, of course, but the end result is inevitable. If you're going to be in the house...
What do you actually need to do? Certainly if you don't need weedkiller then skip that. The hollow toner also depends on whether your soil...
If you're including herbs, then rosemary, thyme and chives are pretty bomb-proof even if you forget to water them.Do not under any circumstances...
I've used nematodes in the past. They certainly worked - the crane flies weren't around in anything like the same numbers the year after.
If it's feeling damp underfoot, spiking/coring will likely help. It's probably compacted and needs a bit of aerating. No arguments with what...
Most trees surgeons will sell you woodchips. Ideally they'd drive along the 5km and drop a pile every few metres. They're unlikely to have enough...
It's a pain, isn't it? The trouble is, you tend to get ones which are the same colour so you can't tell.I did try using Sharpie to write what...
Call me Zorro. Last Saturday I finally got some fencing finished.The previous fence was just flimsy panels, and died progressively over the last...
If it's anything like the soil round my way, it'll be thoroughly saturated with water by now. Early autumn was relatively dry, but then we had a...
What Mike said.Trees certainly do draw up water from the soil, but not at a rate which'll change your flooding problem. Most trees have deeper...
Hawthorn for me too.Since my son hasn't been able to come over to me, we've been walking around my ex's along the canal. There are a lot of crab...
Having done a similar job myself, I wouldn't be too worried about where the runoff goes, so long as you're not on clay soil. The main issue is...
Not sure about exposed areas. I've only personally planted them by fences or walls. However our local council (in Cambridge) has regularly planted...
Ceanothus would be a good choice. It's evergreen so it provides a good structural element, it doesn't need trimming, and it's basically...
The risk is that bamboo is relatively tough and wisteria stems are relatively weak. That could go very wrong, very quickly!
Having wisteria'd before, they're pretty bendy so they should be happy enough moving to a new support. The main thing is going to be not leaving...
I agree with everyone that when it stops being my house, it's their call what they do.The garden was a part of what pushed the value of the...
If you've got the patience, you can dig out each plant. Try to get the root a well. That'll work best for the buttercups (rounded ragged-edged...
With the benefit of hindsight, I'm going to suggest not getting there in the first place. Workmen generally don't have much respect for the area...
Separate names with a comma.
