beware of aminopyralid contamination in manure. ruined various crops last year after i got some compost dropped off! https://www.growveg.co.uk/guides/the-problem-with-manure/

it's been so cold and wet our committee aren't doing inspections until may! everyone's potatoes have rotted. in london

top one is feverfew (tansy) bottom is alkanet. I've always wondered if you can make a good compost tea from alkanet as it's so similar looking to comfrey but have never actually googled/investigated

we have 4 of these wired into a dimmable switch. really nice light to work by. I only added an overhead light for when we sell, we only use the light from these. They are 60cm above the worktop.

reading this at the moment, includes quite a bit of history on enclosure. It's good. https://www.theguardian.com/books/2020/aug/10/the-book-of-trespass-by-nick-hayes-review-a-trespassers-radical-manifesto

are you re-using all that soil?

I would prefer cork over marm. Don't think our builders glued any of it down, we have about 30m2 but as @dbr says it wouldn't hurt...this was the stuff https://www.bricoflor.co.uk/cortex-corknatura-uv-pro-blx2011-rapid-sand-click-cork.html

we have forbo vinyl roll in bathroom and shows up every bit of the sub floor but still nice to walk on and look at. We have cork click downstairs in high traff areas, lovely to walk on, looks great - would love it in bedroom. Only a cpl of marks where a chair with a spiky leg was dragged accross it, also fades in uv. but I would still go cork anywhere in house.

of course, forgot how it works. Thanks for kind offer of SDS too! was also thinking of hiring a mini digger, just because it looks fun :)

I'm really interested - I'm also in Thornton Heath. I have about 5 x 4m area of concrete to break up. How much are you thinking maybe could share the cost with and pass on to @Fox once finished with it. Reckon my job should take me a week....

for metal, fermob do nice stuff...then could get an outdoor storage cupboard for cushions? https://www.fermob-london.co.uk/shop-by-category/dining/tables/c11

Don't do armandii, looks awful and is mega rampant! holboelia or akebia quinata would be nice, as would trachelospermum jasminoides or hydrangea petiolaris. All will need more support than a bamboo fence though, could you attach wires to the corrugated iron? that sounds nice in itself too.

almost exactly what we bought 3 years ago, in cR7 TH/CP border. Hi!

geum urbanum, most consider a weed

fair enough! it's actually a cute little feature. I'd still try and squeeze a hedge in then :)
i live on a corner plot and it's quite a pain in the bum, 3 x cost of other houses in the terrace for everything!

does the boundary look like that on the plans? Why couldn't you change it to a right angle? Do you need to store bins in there? I'd personally go for more gravel and plants and a path. Whatever paving you get will need weeding anyway. Why not add some nice plants. I'd also go for a hedge, even boring old privet. Great for privacy and birds...that way you can just build a low wall...

https://www.wolf-garten.com/en/ use these at work, bulldog also good.
Niwaki hori isn't anything special, i actually prefer a cheaper serrated one we have.
this tool is great from niwaki though https://www.niwaki.com/forged-trowel/

i used to use felco secateurs but got a pair of okatsune for smaller hands and love them! can't comment on the snips but the secateurs are excellent quality and great value

yeah, we went square sink in the kitchen too ugh

attached pics! both sinks had these holes. builder just shrugged lol

Hoping this is not coming out as a reply but my own question! hope someone can help. I have had two of these sinks fitted by our builder and both times they have leaked as there are holes underneath from manufacturing - i guess something to do with firing process, but when you run water it starts pissing out of these holes! https://www.victorianplumbing.co.uk/kyoto-large-rectangular-600-x-460mm-0th-wall-hung-basin
I've tried 2 different types of waste and still leaks.
I've accepted defeat and that this is just a shit sink (unless someone has a suggestion?)
Anyone got a recommendation for a 600m wall hung sink with no tap holes, please? I can't afford lusso stone type of money....but being able to clean my teeth at a sink (been doing it over the bath for a year and the bathroom has been done that long!) would be nice so i guess maybe i should credit card it

sure, will check back in the am, thanks :)

if kimchi doesn't want it, i could collect saturday or sunday :)
