Yes, I love that idea! Only potential problem is that I think it's going to have to be a mobile bin-tidy, in order to access the bins. We'll need...
For anyone interested in such things, this project cost around £500, which was my target. (Lots of reclaimed materials). Unfortunately, a large...
It's been a while, so time for an update! I now have a front garden! Breaking up that concrete turned out to be an immense task, and we had to...
I have the Australis, Red Star growing in a large-ish ceramic pot. It seems very happy in a fairly sunny, sheltered position and although I do...
Thanks @Kristen I'm actually feeling a little bit better about my purchase. I got five delphiniums (Guardian Blue), three hollyhocks (Peaches n...
Pot size is good to know. I don't think the pot size was given, but I should have known from the price, really. Not to worry, I will know for next...
Unfortunately, I don't have anywhere indoors I could grow them. I was thinking of trying the copper tape actually, although my problem is that I...
I've tried everything. These slugs couldn't care less about coffee grounds, crushed egg shells, beer traps, and obviously flippin' slug pellets!...

(As you do)... And I thought I'd share it: :hapfeet:[IMG][IMG]I also blogged about its creation here (complete with list of which alpines I...
I've taken the labels off and put them 'somewhere safe,' so as soon as I find where I've put them, I'll tell you which alpines they were!...
Great, thank you. I've used a mixture of multipurpose, mixed with quite a lot of sand, and a good deal of shingle. Then I've topped it with cactus...
So, inspired by something I saw on Pinterest, I'm creating a 'fairy garden' (as you do). I have purchased six lovely little alpines for the...
@DIY-Dave Yes! The Citroen is fine. We checked the weight limitations, and spread the load fairly carefully, and it was only a couple of miles...
Thanks, I'm really pleased with it. We won't go OTT with the jet-wash, it's just to remove some of the splashes from the cement mixer. I like the...
