Garden project for the early spring is to remove this wood store. Don’t burn wood, don’t need to store wood to burn, and the wall here is south facing so this is a nice little sun trap. Going to replace it with a raised bed, grow a nice climbing rose up the wall, will look v pretty and I’ll also keep a little nook of space to store the BBQ in. Raised bed likely made out of sleepers or similar chunky treated timber.
Question: when it comes to building the side of the raised bed adjacent to the wall do I want to
A) Build it directly against the wall
B) Build it against the wall but with a layer of something between it and the wall to stop damp getting into the brickwork (if so, what’s that layer of something?)
C) Build it slightly away from the wall?
D) Something else?
Oh man, tell me about it. I’m getting a storage chest thing to put all that crap in so that it will be out of sight. Well, it will be out of sight if properly tidied away, that is. Which will be never.
