    If you can stand the smell yourself Rich garden then try sprinkling some Jeyes fluid around. For the pots themselves I break in half and push in upright some of the little green garden canes, that tends to keep them off. :)

    Only just seen this thread Rich :redface:

    What excellent progress you've made, well done you :dbgrtmb:

    If you can ever get your hands on some pine needles (those that have fallen from the trees as leaves do from deciduous trees) they make an excellent mulch for acid loving plants like Azalea, Rhododendrons and Magnolias and will help keep them ha :)

        It's looking really good, what a difference from all that concrete. Big job but well worth it! Well done you.

          I know this sounds weird but its not our front door. For some reason houses on this estate seem to have 2 front doors?? I know I know. We will brick it up and have a nice window there instead when we have more money. My front door that I use is around the corner to the right.

            My gardens coming on a treat..cant wait to go shiney land and buy a few more plants.

            Ill post some more pictures soon. As I was going around the garden today I noticed a few seedlings. .but not sure if they are weeds instead. I had a look around the identification area on this forum but am still not sure. If anyone could identify I would be grateful.
