Anyone want a lawnmower??????

Very smart AA! Did you just lay the membrane on top of the turf? Only I can tell you from bitter experience that lifting turf is an exhausting job!! lol :))

Yes we did Karen....for that very reason......lol

Nice one!

:-o))

That looks great,Lou,you won't regret it..except you might miss "the Moat"you had last winter Lol.its so much easier,plus you will probably end up standing pots on it..I did,and no more slugs and snails crawling up them:o)) Yippee !!

It looks great ! Much better than a lawn :o) I don't have one either .

Thanks Sandra....you've been reading my mind.....the pots are lined up waiting....lol

Thanks Hywel....it will be nice not to have to "nag" OH to cut the grass.....I'm sure I'll find other jobs for him to do......(sly grin!)

I'm sure you will ;o) but he has to be kept occupied to prevent boredom lol

Thought they might be. Brian looks as though he has been working very hard too..
does the poor man know what you have in mind for him yet? you little Slave driver
you:o) Are you another one who starts off with"I've been thinking"?
I think most of you men,will be very familiar with this question.Lol But,we are SO worth it :o))

Interesting blog with good action photos of OH... ;o)

How many pieces in each section of log edging ?
How far into the ground is the log edging ?
Was the log edging expensive ?
Did you have to paint the log edging ?

so many questions....

answer in less than 800 words...Lol.

Those words "i have had an idea " or " i have been thinking" and " I just need to pop to the shops " usually involve lots more work or great expense....LOL :o))

Thanks to all for comments!!!

TT...in answer to your questions........Dunno how many pieces but each roll is 6ft long; it is about 7 inches high (you can buy varying heights) and cost £6.99 a roll. We were lucky to get it on offer "buy 2 get one free". The logging is tanalised and we didn't paint it so it would match with the logging along the path. It does paint nicely, we painted it for the front garden.
It is knocked about an inch or so into the soil; the soil on one side and the slate on the other supports it quite well.

Looks good.

One of my pet hates is tiny,'postsage stamp' lawns! the slate will look so much better.How long will it be though before you add the odd little alpine? a creeping thyme perhaps, a sempervivum or two.... :o))

I'm not keen on tiny lawns too...this one had been a decent size originally but has been "nibbled at" over the years to make room for more plants. I dare say the odd plant might "just appear" and if they can survive in just the slate they are welcome..lol A few pots may find there way there....there are 2 already......:-o)))))
