Gerry,We are laying a patio of about 100sqm and given its size are trying to keep price at reasonable level. Want to achieve the look of yellow sandstone paving and have seen dyded concrete paving slabs which look great but are worried about the colour fading over time (even though would seal it every 5 yrs). Wondered if you had any experience of how these concrete slabs age over time (colour wise). Maybe better off paying extra for natural sandstone?(double the price) Thanks .
What type of preservative is appropriate - and safe - to use on wood used to construct raised vegetable beds? Tks
Hello Gerry, I bought a Sophora prostrata 'Little Baby' 2 years ago and I have it in a pot. It is about 80cm height but has never flowered.Could you advise. Thanks a lot
Is it a good time to plant bare root hedging? If so, what is ideal spacing between plants? I have one garden centre nearby but would like price comparisons, Is there a specialist nursery from where I could get trees ordered/delivered. I am considering a beech hedge! Thanking you in advance
Dear Gerry,I have a vegetable patch that is one year old, at the east side of a new house. I grew some vegetables it is last year but the soil is not good and nothing has been grown in it since last last autum, its now quite weedy with the remains of last years vegetation grass etc I intend to get a couple of loads of top soil in the coming weeks and spread approx 6 inches to a foot of top soil over the area. The question is do I need to kill the weeds etc and dig the ground before I spread the top soil .Many Thanks Sean
