Hullo

No that is a very good point. I hadn't thought about that.

With that in mind I shall think some more on the matter.

Ok so decking is definitely happening. However it might not go right across the house.

Also I was in and out of the garden today and whilst the tree would still take nutrients away, shade wouldn't be an issue with the tree being at the front of the veggie patch.

Also there will be a lot of excess dirt (and grass) when I start digging for the patio and veggie patch, is there anything other than a tip run that I can do with it??

A raised bed or two perhaps?

 

We do intend to have two raised beds. The two parts labeled as pots. I couldn't remember the proper name.

@Mossiac

I like the space you have for your garden and you have some interesting ideas. I'm not a fan of decking, particularly when keeping pets in the garden (vermin love it though: nice dry hidey hole to breed under ).

I've just downsized and moved into a new home with a very neglected garden and I'm spending this winter deciding what I would like, what I absolutely *must* have, what will go where, what I will actually use the space for and how it's all going to fit in

I discovered this PDF and thought of it immediately I read

That is three very distinct areas that you need to keep in mind for your garden design.
That PDF has really given me food for thought in where to begin with designing my plot. This is my forever home so I really do not want to make mistakes (either in cost or time).
Have a read, it may inspire you

 

I'm not sure whether you got my intention regarding the raised beds Mossiac. I suggested those to make use of your excess soil.

 

Thank you "M" I will have a look at the PDF and get back thou you.

Sorry Sheal I had actually forgotten that I'd asked. But that is a very good idea.
