Made a start on the raised beds now, see below.

I am not planning to build them too high! But any suggestions as to what i could put there instead of timber as the expense is mounting up? I have included some photos of the area in question.

I am using new softwood sleepers for a nice clean edge. I will be using a weed membrane on the bottom of the bed and to cover part of the fence so that the soil will not be touching the fence. Your photos look great, i am not sure mine will be of that standard but i will have a go.

Thanks for that but can i just check a couple of things? 1. With Timberlok screws do i screw them from the top sleeper into the bottom, if so how big to they need to be - sleeper 200mm? 2. With the pegs how big do they need to be, how deep and where would i get some from? Thanks again

Hi all, I am planning to run a raised bed down each side of my garden backing onto the fencing. On one side it will be 9.60m long and on the other side it will be 12.0m long. I am building it 2 sleepers high with them on their side. The sleeper dimensions are 2.4m x 200m x 100m 2 questions...

Wow crossercuss, that is certainly the cottage garden! It must have taken an age? Still now that it's finished you can start on the new place with that acre. Had my decking laid now

Thought having a big garden would be great too but it has been a lot of work. Hopefully once it is sorted things will be easier to control? The big ash had to come down because it was rotten and about to fall. It is a real shame but i still have an apple and a pear tree in the garden. Going to...

Things starting to get there but will take a while i think?

I have to say it really doesn't look like that now, please see photos below. Do i need to lift the turf or can i just rotivate the whole lot at once? Have removed all the follage down both sides and am looking to put in a retaining wall at the top so need to flatten the top section by...

Hi, sorry but when i said novice i really meant novice. I get the sinking the posts bit but then what am i cutting to size and screwing into place? Do i need just vertical fence posts or is there horizontal sections of wood attaching them too? If so is this what i attach the half rounds to...

Thanks for the advice re roundup. However i still want to level out the area and lay new turf so that i have less weeds and a flat lawn! Any help with the other points? Thanks http://media.diynot.com/122000_121729_11827_24927631_thumb.jpg

I have a very poor lawn that is full of moss and weeds about 5m x 12m. It is slightly sloped and has a sort of crazy paved path running down the side which also has weeds and is very uneven. I would ideally like to put down a new lawn and get rid of the path but need advice on the following. 1...

Hi , Your garden (deefadog) looks absolutely brilliant from the photos! I am a complete novice diy gardener and would love to find out how you did those walls using the round fence posts. Any chance you could give me a step by step break down of how to do it as i really would like to use that...
