We were really fortunate to have an established garden plus cuttings from my folks.
Our front is a shit show tho that I expect we'll be horrified by the cost of. It'll sadly probably only get done to sell the house.

We were really fortunate to have an established garden plus cuttings from my folks.
My garden was, prior to the revamp which started in May last year, very well-established. If horrifically neglected - there were brambles growing up through the top of the Cherryish tree, which is about 12 feet tall. Since then, in addition to the 1200 litres of manure, its had 2 tons of blue slate, 1 ton of wood chippings, 220 hedge whips and enough turf and membrane to cover a decent-sized 5-a-side pitch added to it. And 21 roses to add to the existing 7.
Amusingly, despite the fact I've lived here for over 16 years most of my neighbours appear to be under the impression that I've just bought the place and that Alison The Gardener is my wife...

I think most of the costs on doing my garden have been spent on well-rotted manure. Over 1200 litres of the stuff so far. I suspect Alison The Gardener's been eating it.
