A garden to make Bob Flowerdew proud!!!

Thanks! (I have fish in the water butts too, following a suggestion by Bob Flowerdew) :o)
The tyres help retain moisture in drier spells and help warm the soil in spring. The downside is that they are also make excellent snail and slug nurseries! But friendly slow worms seem to be keeping them in check this year.

What purpose do the fish in the water butts serve? I don;t think they can be cosmetic if Bob Flowerdew suggested it?!

Nope, you're right! They are to eat any mozzie and midge larvae, and also to give you a liquid fish-pooh fertiliser!!
