    Hello my name is Angela and I live in Village , just outside Guidford.

    I love gardening, but have to try and do it on an extreemly low Budget.. Added to this , I rescued a Dog and her main aim in life , is to dig, dig and more digging.

    I hope to get some idea's from the forum and will try and give some.. Thanks

    Hello Angela, glad you have joined us.
    Although I try and do love it I'm hopeless at everything in the garden.
    The people on here are fabulous.
    Very helpful and friendly.
    In the time I have been coming on here I have learned a lot about gardening and my new hobby photography.
    Don't be afraid to ask anything.
    I'm sure someone will have the answer.
    But maybe not me. :D

    Hello and nice to meet you Angela,I remember few yrs ago oen of the girls in local hairdresser was chatting that she had just got a dog .

    And yes same thing loved to dig dig dig and the rest until she had had enough and decided me time and her childrens time.

    And fenced off a part for dog and decked rest with plant pots ,it seemed to work for her but maybe not for everyone.

    Good luck and just ask for help plenty willing helpers here.

    Hi Angela. Welcome to Loonies Corner. I love gardening on a low budget (seriously). I have neighbours who run down to the garden centre and buy fully grown plants at ridiculous prices. Some of us like to grow just about everything from seed, scrounged cuttings etc. I'm afraid I'll be dead before many of my plants are respectable size but I love seeing even small plants and being able to say that I did that with just a little help from nature. (And occasionally a little hindrance). But believe me, it is far more fulfilling than my neighbours' methods. Besides that - I'm cheap. :D

    Hi Angela, and welcome to the site. If you want to stop your dog from digging just take the spade off her. :D

    [​IMG]Angela to our friendly forum. I'm sure you will get plenty of help, advice and tips on cheap gardening from the lovely bunch of guys and gals on here.

    You can have a wonderful garden even on a low budget but with a dog that's another matter indeed, although in time I'm sure your dog will get fed up with digging holes.....I'll keep my fingers crossed for you anyway. ;) Hel.xxx.
