Posted in health re non toxic hedge and thought I would post pics of the garden here as it accounts for 50% of my total stress level each day i have to look at it lol
This gives a good idea of the base of the dreaded leylandii and alot of the ivy grows here. The apple tree stump still grows suckers every year which fall off in the autumn:-
We fenced it off using a puppy playpen that unfolded across the width of the garden. We have a rather nasty manky thorny hedge that is on the other side of an equally manky broken chain link fence. This pic shows the shade problem:-
The garden is long and narrow although wider than it appears in these pics.
The patio in progress, we finished a few months ago:-
Ignore the blue fencing, we are ripping it out soon as its not working. Garden will be grassed from side to side and a few potted shrubs added but the end of the garden is keeping me up at night :roll: I can't put anyhting important down there for two reasons:-
1. Spiders
2. Wasps
Yes, dumb reason to some but I am terrified of the above beasties. OH wants to permanently fence the end off...it needs a new fence as its not exactly secure right now and to be honest a new chain link fence going behind the apple tree stump and in front of the leylandii might be the way to go but I loathe losing so much ground.
Sorry for the ramble but its better out on here then a brain explosion :lol:
