New member from Newcastle !

Hello all.

Just joined the forum. I really enjoy reading the posts and have picked up some fantastic tips already.

To let you all know where I am.

I moved into a new home last year with a large South facing garden. I am particularly lucky because I have a small nature reserve to the rear of my home which is basically woodland. Its fantastic with lots of wildlife including several pheasants.

Anyway the garden..... When I moved in 1 year ago it was completely overgrown with shrubs and was very dark due to 5 Hawthorn trees and a huge holly, There was no lawn or structure at all.
1 year on I have cut down the trees and dug out the stumps (yes it took a year but I did it with a spit and a spade !) I have put some railway sleepers in as a retaining wall and just laid a new raised lawn. My borders are totally bare so I am working with a complete blank canvas.
This is where I am clueless and I will hopefully learn from the expertise on this site.

Cheers all.
