Garden is about 25m x 7.5m, albeit with a bit of a bend. The top half doesn't have a lot of weeds, just a scraggy looking bit of grass really. The rest was covered. We did try to dig up all the briars as we found them, but quite a few probably still have roots. Not sure what the rest of the...

Thanks guys, appreciate the input. Will go have a read up on weedkiller. Not too keen on the idea as the dog loves the garden, but if it's only for a couple of weeks might be ok. Have to have a look for a rotavater too. Not sure about the light actually, there's some massive fir trees in the...

Hey folks, Gardening newbie here. Just got a new house that has a garden which hasn't been touched in years. Taken weeks to cut it all back, demolish rotten sheds, dig up old stumps and trees, bushes etc. Going to dig up that concrete path we found and old clothesline (if we can), and have...

Thanks for the suggestions guys, that's interesting. So with a combi boiler, you're limited by how fast it can heat water, whereas with the system boiler, you're limited by the size of the hot water cylinder? Would the combi boiler option not have potential pressure problems? Both of those...

Hi folks, Looking at moving a bathroom from downstairs to upstairs, and one of the main concerns I have is getting a decent shower. Have wasted thousands trying to get a decent shower in my current house over the years, and still have a temperamental crap shower, so a good shower would be...
