Having successfully wisterified a wall on our last house, sinensis is the type you want. Ours was a floribunda macrophylla - spectacular...
*grin* Well, I got some of the P3 stuff, and there's a kind of good-news-bad-news thing there. The bad news is that it didn't seal the seepage....
Not significantly. I hit damp clay and stopped there, precisely because I didn't want problems holding back the water table. A little water seeped...
Big question is what type of soil you have. Is it chalk? or clay? or otherwise something which plants might take a dislike to? If you want to...
Can't believe no-one's mentioned ceanothus yet. *Very* attractive to bees when it's out, which is mainly spring and then random occasional buds...
Hi all, Some of you may remember my posting earlier in the year, saying I was planning a pond in the shape of a yin-yang symbol. It also needed...

Thanks Pro Gard. I did think about that, but there's the problem of how to seal it so the mortar doesn't leach into the water. With a regular...
Thanks WG. Plans will include a biological filter and UV then. With the gravel filter, I read that the idea is to shovel the gravel out...
Thanks for the replies. Yes, it's exciting, but the scale of the work needed means it's also a bit scary too! Still, I'm not bothered about taking...
First post here, so be gentle. ;-) Anyway, we bought a house in September which had had nothing done on the place for X years (where X is an...
