Does anyone know anything about gardening?

Ah gravels a good call. It's that or Freecycle pavers

We've always just slapped them on the soil. Each corner has a stake buried deeper which keeps them in place.

Cheers, it’s evolving and improving every year. We’re still prone to impulse buying stuff that doesn’t work with our soil/light and killing it.

@hugo7 I think (hope) its max height will be 3m but you never know.

Beautiful.

This is me too. Add in the complication of having rabbits...

Cheers

I've got a Bosch Rotak and happy with it.

Mine conked out last year and I replaced it with a manual push mower. My garden isn't massive and it is nice to just get it out of the shed and whizz around quickly. It cuts really nicely as well.

Pushing a mover around isn't very golf club.

We've got a Honda powered Mountfield and it hasn't missed a beat in the 6 years we've had it.

Not forum approved but I'd get a 2nd hand one. People are always upgrading these things.

Or else get a robot mower.

There is no in between.

hi all, my partner has done endless work for a local community garden, transforming our estate over the last 5 or so years. i want to get her put up for an award or get her and her efforts recognised in some way; is there a prize or something I can ask the committee to nominate her for?

Have you looked on your local council website? Ours (Lewisham) has yearly community awards for people who've done things like that.

Bay is coming out 😥

Get it into a pot. Shade. Water/feed well for a year, should be ok.

thanks, I won a council award a couple of years ago and feel like it would be nice for her if this was something different (ideally also specific to horticulture)

Surely submit to gardeners world!

Another vote for Petrol Honda. Grab a future combustion classic ;)

I've put a couple of small ponds into the garden - one 40 litres and one 80 litres. What sort of plants should I get to encourage wildlife in? They're just large plastic troughs designed for livestock to drink from, so there's no soil or anything at the bottom.

Yeah +1 on honda powered (4 stroke). We inherited a mountfield one with a rear roller when we bought this place and it's great as our garden is on a couple of different levels, none of which are particularly flat....

Depends if she's a posho or not.
