That's the great thing about gravel....lay it deep and hardly any weeds get through. I still have to pick up the straying crisp packets, sweetie wrappers and carrier bags though!

lol...I had a look on Vicky's site, and there are for sure some lovely Heucheras...the only problem for me postage to France starts at £23 about 28 -30 euros, and that's a lot...:o((

No Kaps, I'm pleased to tell you it is all my own work, and hard work it was too, but now it is extremely easy...hardly any work at all. There is a blog about me making it...

Many thanks for sharing such a detailed and impressive blog. My daughter's bday is approaching in april end..and i am now determined to lay down gravels on my own :)
Although i have a bit compost bin in my garden which I am really scared touching it..since we moved to property we never touched it..and not even opened it to check whats inside but i will put gravels around it and keep that bin as it is.
Blogs such as yours do encourage people...i am an example here:) keep up the good work.
