Oh I don't know Murray the garden BBQ looks fine to me - much better than a lot I've seen. Loved all you other piccies too.
Thanks again - Got a few weed pictures for you if anyone fancies helping my identify a few.. Edit: Images no longer exist my guesses are: Weeda = some sort of thistle that I don't want. Weedb = not sure. Weedc = is this a dandelion? Weedd = not sure - maybe it is still too young to tell?? Weede = gros larger and has a sort of pink/purple lining and small flowering has grown lage in rocks and areas with poor light (will get a better pic soon). WeedF = This is where I really need help - these are growing all over the garden, they look like some sort of clover. They aren't a great problem as they aren't that bad looking but i'd prefer to try and get a pristine looking lawn to start with. -Any idea what it is? Suggestions? Eileen - Have you any pictures of your 'wild area' in your garden. It sounds great. I'd love to have a wild area but im not sure my garden is quite big enough for it. I suppose we will wait and see. - I seem to remember you having a MASSIVE garden, is that correct?
I don't know about your weeds. You do build a nice bar beque though. Want to build one for me? Dooley
I didn't think it was that great too be honest. I kinda just started piling up bricks. They all fell over at one point so i started again with more bricks at the bottom and found that the bricks needed to overlap and interlock to be stable (this would have been pretty clear if I took a second to think about it). Dooley, I'm sure you would do a great job yourself have you tried one yet. p.s. if you don't cement it you can try, try and try again!
Hi guys/girls. My Garden is looking much better however I raked up all the patches yesterday and put down some more grass seed. - will get more photos soon. Just a few things I'd like your help and opinions on... To cut or not to cut. I have 2 apple trees in my garden and they are quite low and over-grown. They are not producing the best apples which I suspect is partly because of the growth. The only thing stopping me cutting it is I like the way the tree droops down and you have to move around it. It looks natural. Also If I do cut it the garden as a whole will get quite a bit more sun. Grass and Weed cuttings. After my first 'mowing' i have about 100ltrs+ of grass and tops of weeds and wondered what was the best thing to do with this? At the moment it is all lumped at the back of my garden in a pile. It seems a waste to put it in a plastic bag and end up in some land-fill site. - What do you guys do with your cuttings? Compost bins. I was looking for a compost bin mainly so I have somewhere to throw all my left-over bits and pieces and to possible save myself a few £ on future compost however I have seen a few sites dedicated to 'making compost' and the 'layers' you should put in. I wanted to simply use it as a 'eco-friendly bin' if you know what I mean. Would that work? (i know there are certain things you cant put in it). Thanks in advance
