The gravel is 12mm shingle. There us no membrane under the older paths, but there is under the newer ones. Weeds are a constant problem and I...
Hi Pianolady, the paths are different depending on where they are in the garden. We have some which are paving slabs, some concrete, a lot of...
Not keen on spraying, but Copper Sulphate is good for controlling Apple and Pear Scab. It does not get rid of already existing damage, but it does...
