Dear all, We bought our house about ten years ago and the garden has a flowerbed which was build against our neighbours brick wall, so that there is no barrier between the soil and the brick wall. The flowerbed is about 5 metres long and 80 centimetres high. The neighbours want to replace the...

Yes it looks like the way forward, not a brilliant system though

I can't check for leaks unless I remove the floorboards. I will put silicone on both sides and hope for the best. I think I left chemicals for too long and somehow they have damaged the plastic
