Making my wall

i LOVE your garden and what a brilliant wall. great blog, thank you nanjo.

Thank you Sticki, I enjoyed making it and getting rid of all the stones !

Im very impressed!! saved your blog in favourites in case i ever have that many stones!!

:-)))))

That's brilliant! We live on a mountain and so have stones in every turn of the earth and are always looking for ways to use them. This could make very useful raised beds for veggies. I've seen quite high walls here made from wire cages filled with large stones and they look quite impressive. It's obviously cheaper to build a wall that way then to pay an experienced stone-waller - probably a talent that's becoming obsolete now anyway. Well done on your wall! A very clever idea! :o)

very impressive bit of engineering..looks great as does your cute garden..well done and thanks for sharing

Wow ! What a very clever idea. I shall save to favourites too.

A wonderful way of recycling, its very impressive and the rest of your garden looks very interesting. What is the tree to the right of the picture, its a lovely shape.

You have been so clever there, I love it!

what a lovely corner that makes :-)

Great transformation Nanjo, You are clever.

What a brilliant idea :o) It looks great too .....

That is an absolutely ingenious idea....one to remember, I think;) It all looks great!!

great recycling and love it :o)

Wow ! What a lot of lovely comments :-))) Thank you ! Stroller the tree you asked after is a Stellata , I have highered the canopy to allow more light under it and I tend to trim it when necessary to keep it tidy. It must be in my genes Nariz - my Grandad was a Master builder and could do dry stone walling. lol. :-)

No wonder - the talent passed on! :o)

wow!!!!!! It looks so pro! well done you!!! Do you do commissions?!

Not as yet Lyndaarnott, I may have to think about a new career ...lol

Hi, that wall looks so professional, love your garden and the way you have lifted the canopy of your tress and shrubs, really lovely.

Thanks Dotty, the wall has certainly tidied the corner up and I like to keep the ground so that there is as much light as possible and so that I can get underneath to weed .

What a great idea Nanjo and welcome to GOY from me too:-)

Great blog.. Adding to GoYpedia Walls. :o)

Thanks Bornagain it's great to be here...and to you Terratoonie for the compliment. :-)

Nearly missed this one Nanjo, its a brilliant idea to use the stones like that, thankyou for the in-depth instructions, it looks really good and I like the planting and the little gravel paths.
Smashing blog and pics...
