    Clematis

    Tip is to plant them with the base of the plant and the roots away from strong light and direct sunlight. I planted some and then covered the base with a large rock and they flourished. Try googling your topic

    Shower extractor puzzler

    Hmmmmmmmmmm. I have looked for some type of new shutter but due to original vent being placed under the fascia, (facing down), the shutters would just stay open all the time. Any suggestions ?? My neighbour said he stuck cooker hood extractor filters in his vents ????
