      Look out Al N.
      There'll be moves afoot soon to get you to manufacture borders around your new lawn.
      Now you've got everything sorted, you'll need something to keep you occupied whilst the Soaps are on:heehee:

      oh, those borders are a comin'.............. :blue thumb:bottom right hand side will have a triangular shape, as will the end by the gravel/deck.
      the garage side will accommodate either 1 long raised bed made from either deck boards or railway sleepers, or 3 individual ones of the same material (i cant decide which to go for tho!!)

      been looking at the planting, but i can't afford to do it all at once so will start with the bed at the bottom behind the shed.

      one things for sure tho, there will be a few hanging baskets!! :)
