As you can see, my kitchen tiles run beneath the cabinets and also between them, by the oven area. Plus they run along the sink area.. I have cleaned and prepped the cabinets ready for priming with Zinsser BIN In a couple of weeks, I have a guy coming to take out the old tiles, put new subway...

Hello all, when I get around to finishing my garden project (its been raining for 7 days straight) I intend to section off part of the bottom end of the garden to turn it into a seating area. The plan is to dig out the turf down that end to about 3" deep, chuck it, flatten the area over and...

Hi Jason I considered babmoo and like you thought the stuff on the roll too uniform , but buying individual canes and chopping them up is just as pricey, if not more. I will have two 25-30 foot long borders so I'm erring on the side of sourcing free rocks/boulders from the beach or wherever. I...

Hi John I have a long existing bed in my garden which I dug out 2 yrs ago so actually I do know how hard it is ! I am changing the shape of that bed though. When i originally dug it I found that I could not get down any further than about 18 inches in some places, before i hit what felt like...

I've had some very helpful replies and thank you for those, but I have a new issue now. I want two borders, one either side of my 50 foot garden. The borders will each be around 27 foot long and curved. I have BAD clay soil. Terrible waterlogging in wet weather, dry as a bone in heat. My...

I seem to be a bit limited with what else to choose for a curvy border. I don't like the look of bricks, sleepers won't turn corners, I hate the plasticky stuff and don't want a border made from planks of wood either. I could use real logs but they won't be the same size and would be hell to try...

thanks for the help. i wont be doing the rest of the garden as that is lawned and I want it to stay that way so don't really want to chuck compost all over it or it will look a bit odd ! but I will follow the advice about the beds, things are clearer to me now!

when you say "smaller poles", do you mean bits of smaller log roll or something else? what height was your log roll as if i did go for this option I'd use one that was about 12 inches or higher so it was embedded 6 inches into the ground...wouldn't that be enough to support things?

I've another question and would welcome some creative ideas if anyone has some ! I'm redoing my garden from scratch and will be planting out frost hardy tropical plants and plants that aren't tropical but look tropical and that don't grow too tall . Think palms, ferns, grasses interspered...

thanks yes, I was instinctively drawn more to the 1st idea myself. Can I ask you a couple of related q's please: 1. shingle- any particular kind and how many inches of it ? 2. Compost- to put a layer of it at the bottom before the topsoil and then a layer on top of the topsoil ? or to...

I do hope someone here can advise me, because I have tried 3 other forums and no one has replied. I have researched alot but can't seem to find a proper solution. Here is my problem: My soil is heavy clay. In Summer it is dry and clumpy and when it rains, puddles form wherever they can. My...
