No I'm .........
OK I'm sad but couldn't resist that one!
So we know why evil - why Spartacus? Dimple in your chin perhaps?

it's blooming educational on here lately!
although maybe one tip I won't be keen to try out!
Does make you wonder who the hell found that out in the first place!

I need the answer to this one - my bin is crawling with them!
Guess its a price we pay as I can't see how you can get rid without chemicals
Definitely won't use those!

I did ask my neighbour to take a before - and hope to get an "after" pic after we cut the grass (guess what I'm doing after this mail!!) and before the bank holiday rain
We love it now - simple but so satisfying.
Thanks for all the positive feedback, must get on here more often

Wasn't sure where to share this - hello have been busy revising and gardening sorry, must catch up more often. 1st project : Anyway - I was fed up of a bit of tatty grass verge on the end of our road, so I typed up flyers and asked everyone to join in making it into a garden. A few of us have lost l...

I hate privet but can't get rid of the hedge that edges my grass. I have noticed that the little slope of grass into it would be ideal rhubarb and veg plot - slowly stealing the lawn! :cheers: BUT Can I grow peas and beans over privet, or would it be impossible to pick the things afterwards?

I have finally after years of promising, bought some cheap metal wreath rings to make lovely smelly xmas door wreaths for me and a couple of mates.

Anyway - they even gave me fruit which I didn't expect this year, only half a dozen but tasted lovely Co...

I was going to use tyres next year in my small garden and they don't look too offensive for the neighbours (keep em sweet you never know when you may need them)

If I can't use them what do I use? Any ideas?

And no I can't afford chimney pots as they are still highly desirable

Blimey seems ages I'm confused - rhubarb / compost? I was told DO NOT put rhubarb in the compost heap as it poisons it Have I binned the biggest tropical leaves and bits for nothing? Have found a gorgeous recipe - dead easy - soften rhubarb with a bit of sugar - fold it into custard and put in the f...
