Garden Project

No idea what direction this will take at the moment but heres whats been achieved so far

Area at the back of the garden thats fenced off has nothing to do with us as a household

Put some new wire fencing up to try and stop the foxes from getting in the garden as they have chewed there way through what was there at moment, also to stop the dog from getting in to the fenced off part as well.

Absolutely shattered by the time I had finished and theres still a lot more to be done lol

No idea what to do with the garden as funds are extremely tight. Might just go for the tidy up and see what else happens.

More pics probably to come this weekend so long as the weather stays nice. Before I finished I sprayed the whole area down with weedkiller to try and reduce the weed infestation.

Good luck with the garden Snoopy! It may look scruffy at the moment but I'm sure you'll turn it around and the ideas will come as you progress.

 

Thanks Sheel

I gave the whole area a spray down with weedkiller but i have no idea what impact it has had at the moment due to me arriving home too late all this week to check it out.

Need to find the charger for the strimmer as well so i can cut down that grass on the left hand side of the garden as well to try and tidy that up a bit as well.

 

To be honest Snoopy that grass doesn't look like it's worth keeping, it's quite possibly couch grass. I noticed you had quite a bit of bindweed growing, that will be difficult to kill unless you're using something glyphosate based.

 

Yeah this bindweed does seem to be a royal pain in the butt......Not sure what weedkiller i used but ( i think ) that it was Glyphosate based. Will find out at the weekend when i can get back out there to see how things stand

To be honest the garden is a bit of a bomb site as the back part that is fenced off also had massive amounts of Japanese Knotweed in it. Council have come out and sorted that in the early part of this year (their due back in November to check up on it) but i'm surprised it hasn't come on to our part of the garden.

Did wonder what the Vine stuff was that was going across the floor but at least ive got a name for it now and it truly is a bind! :d

 

It's good to hear the Knotweed is under control. Don't attempt to dig out the bindweed, if any piece of root is left in it will grow again, just like ivy does. Glyphosate is the only thing that will deal with it properly, you may still get some shoots come up but they are easily dealt with - with a second spraying. Be careful when using glyphosate, it will kill just about everything it touches.
